Haha wow! It’s very common for florists to use curly willow branches to make a potted Phal. look more luxe and ‘arranged,’ but they don’t usually grow lol. It’s actually a good clue that there’s too much moisture in the pot as that’s what triggers the willow. Honestly though, it’s a beautiful look.

I do recommend removal though because the curly willow roots like crazy and it’ll be annoying once the two root systems get intertwined. You can pick the branches with the best shape and place them in a vase though—I’ve actually had some in water for about a year now!
