π± Light
-
Olive bonsai need full sun β ideally 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily.
-
Indoors, place them by a south-facing window or use a grow light if natural light is insufficient.
π§ Watering
-
Water when the topsoil feels dry; olives dislike constantly wet soil.
-
Avoid letting the soil dry out completely β balance is key.
-
Use a pot with good drainage to prevent root rot.
πͺ΄ Soil
-
A well-draining bonsai soil mix (akadama, pumice, lava rock) works best.
-
Slightly alkaline soil is preferred.
βοΈ Pruning & Shaping
-
Structural pruning is best in late winter or early spring, before new growth.
-
Maintenance pruning (trimming new shoots) can be done throughout the growing season.
-
Wiring can be used, but be gentle β olive branches can be brittle.
π½οΈ Fertilizing
-
Use a balanced liquid bonsai fertilizer every 2β3 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn).
-
Reduce or stop fertilizing in winter when growth slows.
