Insert the cut end of each cutting about 2-3 inches deep, ensuring at least one node is buried. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain high humidity by covering with a plastic bag or placing in a propagator. Provide bright, indirect light and warmth (around 70-75°F) for best results. Roots typically form within a few weeks to a couple of months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce rooted, transplant cuttings into individual pots with well-draining potting soil. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in their permanent location. Mulberry trees benefit from regular watering during their first year and a layer of mulch to conserve moisture. Prune as needed to shape the tree and maintain a manageable size for harvesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 mulberry cuttings (Morus alba) ready for rooting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836018622774,"sku":"FOLIA2-1844","price":78.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6632403571_4oa3.jpg?v=1793097393","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/10-mulberry-cuttings-early-fruiting-easy-to-root-grow-morus-alba","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
