I just potted a mulberry and have no idea of how often I can feed it.
Searched for it but didn't find anything consistent to follow.
I'm very used to utilize liquid triple 10.

Mulberry is a tree. Just like most other trees so feed it as other bonsai.
For outdoor bonsai that are watered well and often:
While there are leaves feed every 2-3 weeks should be OK. I know a few feed liquid weekly but that's probably overdoing it.

Indoor bonsai are not usually watered as thoroughly or as often so nutrients are not leached out so quick. Feed every 4-6 weeks?

Mulberry should be kept outside as much as possible - probably all year round in Brazil?

Thx, I will keep using every 4 weeks, sadly I can't keep it outside, but I have a nice indoor garden with a big window keeping it open all day.


Hmmmm... Sounds like paradise weather.
Yes it is haha! hardly below freezing and not so often over burning point haha.
Yup. Curitiba is amazing. And curitiba has some of the most advanced ideas when it comes to city development, transport etc in the whole of south america
Yes it is, lots of places to hang out, lots of nature everywhere, but it was a long time ago before the pandemic, I don't go outside since march last year...

Will miss not visiting Curitiba anymore though. Had a few good visits over the last years.

Wow, seriously, what are your favorite places?
don't ask me.. :) I was helping with a few projects with the main universities in town. They lugged me around!
Gorgeous town hall, great creative hub buildings. Insane bus stations. We were making plans on cleaning up iguazu river in town, but that link never materialized.

Overall.. good vibe in town.

If you want it to grow and thick the trunk plant it in a big training pot or the ground, in that small pot barely will grow
