how to care for an olive tree at home<\/strong> is a beautiful way to connect with the earth, in a living and everyday way. <\/p>\n\nWhat olive tree can I have at home?<\/h3>\n\n
The Arbequina<\/strong> 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: <\/p>\n\nLarge flowerpot<\/strong> on the balcony<\/p>\n\nSmall garden<\/strong><\/p>\n\nEven on a sunny terrace<\/p>\n\n
Light and guidance: key to growth<\/h3>\n\n
The olive tree needs a lot of direct light. Find a place with at least 6 hours of sun a day<\/strong> . If possible, orient it towards the south. Remember that they are Mediterranean trees, they love the sun! <\/p>\n\nWater, but in moderation<\/h3>\n\n
There is no need to water too much. The olive tree prefers drought to excess water<\/strong> . In summer, once or twice a week is enough. In winter, even less. <\/p>\n\nOliferm advice:<\/strong> check that the pot has good drainage, this way you will avoid waterlogging.<\/p>\n\nSubstrate and pruning<\/h3>\n\n
Use well-aerated soil and a little sand or clay. Prune lightly in spring to maintain shape and stimulate growth. <\/p>\n\n
A connection to the oil cycle<\/h3>\n\n
Caring for an olive tree at home is much more than gardening. It’s learning to observe the seasons<\/strong> , understanding the slow and patient rhythm of nature, and appreciating even more the oil that arrives at the cooperative each year. <\/p>\n\nBring your love for oil to life<\/h2>\n\n
Having an olive tree at home is a beautiful way to keep the culture of our territory alive. And who knows\u2026 maybe one day, an olive will grow from it that will remind you that every fruit has its time, but also its value. <\/p>\n\n
Do you dare to plant your own olive tree?<\/h4>\n\n
