Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
Paper mulberry thrives and grows vigorously with an ample amount of daily sunlight, as suggested by its native habitat conditions that indicate a preference for high sunlight absorption. However, excessive solar exposure can lead to leaf scorching, and inadequate sunlight can cause the growth to slow down and the foliage to become pale.
🌡️ Temperature 10–35°C
The paper mulberry tree is indigenous to temperate climate areas, favoring temperatures ranging from 50 to 95°F (10 to 35°C). When subjected to chillier conditions, it's suggested to supply extra heat to emulate its original habitat.
