While typically grown outdoors, olive trees can also be successfully grown as indoor plants. These trees add a touch of Mediterranean beauty and fragrance to your living space, as well as the potential for a small harvest of delicious olives. Indoor olive trees thrive in bright, indirect sunlight and require a well-draining soil mix to prevent overwatering. As with outdoor olive trees, indoor plants should be pruned to maintain a manageable size and shape. In addition to their ornamental appeal, indoor olive trees can also provide health benefits as they purify the air and release a refreshing scent. Whether you are looking to add a touch of greenery to your home or enjoy the benefits of homegrown olives, indoor olive trees are a unique and rewarding option for indoor gardening.
Care:

To maintain the optimal health of your plant, it is essential to water it when the soil is partially dry. Before watering, always assess the soil moisture level to avoid over or under watering. If the soil is dry, proceed to water the plant, as neglecting to do so can cause the plant to dry out. On the other hand, if the soil is already moist, avoid over watering as this can lead to root rot or the dropping of leaves. By regularly checking the soil moisture level and watering accordingly, you can ensure that your plant receives the appropriate amount of water to thrive.
