Planting & Care

To root these unrooted cuttings, prepare a well-draining rooting medium such as a mix of peat and perlite. Insert the cut end of each 6-inch cutting about 2 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 dome or bag. Place in bright, indirect light until roots develop.

Once rooted, transplant cuttings into individual pots with well-draining soil and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. Choose a sunny location with ample space for the tree to grow. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. White Mulberry is generally low-maintenance and tolerates pruning well.
