Morus spp. - B5122

Sunlight: Mulberry trees (Morus spp.) prefer full sun for healthy growth and fruiting. They can tolerate some shade, but fruit production tends to be lower.

Watering: The soil should be kept slightly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings. Mulberries are relatively more drought-tolerant than other fruit trees, but they benefit from regular watering, especially during hot or dry periods.

Humidity: They are not very demanding regarding air humidity, although they grow best in moderate levels. Humidity trays are not necessary unless the environment is very dry indoors.

Pruning: Pruning is essential to maintain shape, encourage branching, and ensure the tree’s vitality. Prune in winter to remove dead or diseased branches, and if needed, in late summer to control excessive growth.

Fertilization: During spring and summer, apply a balanced fertilizer, preferably water-soluble. Reduce or suspend fertilization in autumn and winter.

Repotting: Repot every 2 to 3 years, preferably in spring, before new growth begins. Use a well-draining substrate.

Fruiting: Mulberries produce sweet and tasty fruits that usually ripen in summer. Proper pruning and good sun exposure help increase fruit production.
