Olive plant with ceramic pot

They are native to the Mediterranean region and are often grown for their fruit, which is used to produce olive oil.

When grown indoors, olive plants prefer a sunny, south-facing window and well-draining soil mix. They do not tolerate wet feet and require moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Olive plants also benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season.

When selecting a pot for your olive plant, a ceramic pot can be a great choice as it is durable and aesthetically pleasing. Make sure to choose a pot that is large enough to accommodate the plant’s root system, with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

To care for your olive plant in a ceramic pot, water it thoroughly once a week or when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the winter months, when indoor air is often dry, misting the leaves with water can help to increase humidity around the plant.
