Morus — frequently asked questions
Are Morus plants toxic to cats and dogs?
Most Morus are pet-safe. Of the 11 Morus species we cover, 6 are non-toxic on the ASPCA list and 5 carry a toxic or mildly-toxic rating. Even so, confirm the individual species before trusting it around pets.
How much light do Morus plants need?
Most Morus do best in direct sun. If yours stretches toward the window or loses its variegation it wants more light; scorched or bleached leaves mean it is getting too much direct sun.
Are Morus easy to care for?
Some Morus suit more experienced growers — several want strong light, sharp drainage or a specific seasonal rhythm. Check the individual species page for the exact regime.
