Caring for Your Live Olive Tree
The Arbequina olive tree is relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for both experienced and novice gardeners. The key to success lies in providing the right environment and care.
- Sunlight: Arbequina olive trees thrive in full sunlight. Make sure your tree receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you’re growing your tree indoors, place it near a south-facing window.
- Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. When you do water, water deeply until the water drains from the bottom of the pot.
- Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix. A mixture of potting soil, sand, and perlite is ideal. This will ensure that the roots don’t sit in water.
- USDA Zones: This olive tree thrives in USDA Zones 8-11, it can be grown indoors in other zones as long as the proper conditions are met.
- Fertilizing: Fertilize your olive tree during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced fertilizer. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package.
