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.

Ideal: Full sun
🌡️ 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.

Ideal temperature: 10–35°C

🌱 Fertilizer

For the promotion of robust development, give your Paper mulberry a dose of fertilizer at the onset of spring. Uniform fertilization boosts the overall vitality, leading to hearty growth, robust resistance to harsh conditions, and heightened defence against diseases and pests. Adhere to a set fertilization timetable for your Paper mulberry to guarantee lively leaves with intense colour and a rich look.
