How to care for it
Light
The olive tree loves direct sunlight: place it where it can receive as much natural light as possible. Indoors, choose a spot near a very bright window.
Water
Water thoroughly and let the soil dry out between waterings: approximately every 7 days in summer and every 14 days in winter. Before watering, check that the soil is dry 2-3 cm deep.
Temperature and humidity
The ideal temperature is between 10 and 30 °C; the plant tolerates temperatures from -5 to 40 °C. It prefers low humidity, between 40% and 60%, and a well-ventilated environment. Avoid temperature fluctuations.
Fertilizer and soil
In spring and summer, fertilize every 60 days with a balanced fertilizer. The soil must be well drained, made up of sand and potting soil, with a pH around 6.5, in a pot with adequate drainage holes to prevent root rot.
Propagation
It is propagated by cuttings, the most common and reliable method, or by seed; this is a moderately difficult process.
