A little piece of Castelldans on your balcony
Each bottle of Oliferm olive oil from Castelldans contains the story of lands, hands and seasons. But… what if we told you that you could have a little of this magic in your home? Learning how to care for an olive tree at home is a beautiful way to connect with the earth, in a living and everyday way.
What olive tree can I have at home?
The Arbequina variety, the same one we use at Oliferm, is ideal for small spaces. It has slow growth, small leaves and is resistant. You can have it in:
Large flowerpot on the balcony
Small garden
Even on a sunny terrace
Light and guidance: key to growth
The olive tree needs a lot of direct light. Find a place with at least 6 hours of sun a day . If possible, orient it towards the south. Remember that they are Mediterranean trees, they love the sun!
Water, but in moderation
There is no need to water too much. The olive tree prefers drought to excess water . In summer, once or twice a week is enough. In winter, even less.
Oliferm advice: check that the pot has good drainage, this way you will avoid waterlogging.
Substrate and pruning
Use well-aerated soil and a little sand or clay. Prune lightly in spring to maintain shape and stimulate growth.
A connection to the oil cycle
Caring for an olive tree at home is much more than gardening. It’s learning to observe the seasons , understanding the slow and patient rhythm of nature, and appreciating even more the oil that arrives at the cooperative each year.
Bring your love for oil to life
Having an olive tree at home is a beautiful way to keep the culture of our territory alive. And who knows… maybe one day, an olive will grow from it that will remind you that every fruit has its time, but also its value.
