Common names
Mexican Mulberry, Morus Celtidifolia, Texas MulberryHow to care for Mexican Mulberry
Water
Mexican Mulberry should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Mexican Mulberry loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the Mexican Mulberry prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
