The trendy potted olive tree, one pot to elevate your style, with fruit to eat every year

Nowadays more and more people are growing plants. Many friends grow plants not only because they can purify the air, but also to have a bit of greenery at home so it looks cozier. Growing a beautiful plant can also elevate the style of your home. Today I want to introduce a potted plant that is very popular online, and that is the olive tree. Grow one at home and your style goes up 3 notches, and you get fruit to eat every year!

The olive is a very healthy fruit, rich in nutrients and packed with various vitamins and minerals. Olive oil is also a very healthy oil, known as "liquid gold." The olive tree also has a minimalist Nordic beauty. Grow one at home and it looks very stylish, plus it can bear fruit. Everyone come and see how to grow it!

Soil

The olive tree does not have very high requirements for soil; you just need to keep the soil loose and breathable. This way it is not prone to waterlogging and root rot. You can mix some eggshells and bone fragments into the soil, which can loosen the soil well and also increase fertility. As for the pot, you can choose a slightly minimalist red clay pot or a white porcelain pot, which can match the olive tree's minimalist Nordic style. For color, it is best to choose pots with relatively low saturation. Do not choose plastic ones, as the texture is not good enough. After all, it is a trendy potted plant, so it needs a bit of that trendy feel.

Water and nutrients

The olive tree prefers a moist environment. Now that the temperature has dropped, we usually just water it once every 2-3 days to keep the soil moist. The olive tree looks best when it is still fairly small-branched, and it does not bloom much either, so we do not need to fertilize too much normally; adding a little slow-release fertilizer is enough. This prevents the branches and leaves from growing too leggy.

Light and temperature

The olive tree can be placed by a window and receive scattered sunlight. In summer, do not place it in direct midday sun; pay attention to shading. The olive tree is fairly heat-tolerant but not cold-tolerant. It can grow well below 35° and above 0°. If the winter temperature drops below zero, it must be moved indoors so it can bear more fruit.

Pruning

Pruning is usually done in winter. Prune away leggy branches and leaves as well as old, weak, diseased and dead branches. This helps reduce nutrient consumption and is better for overwintering and fruiting. During the vigorous growth period in summer, we can pinch off the tips to promote the growth of side buds, which can make the olive grow more lush.
