Olea Europaea Pompom PV Tronco (2.0m OAH. , 28cm-30cm Dia)

🌞 Light

• Requirement: Full sun, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Tip: Place in a south-facing position for optimal growth. Use a grow light indoors during darker months if needed.

💧 Watering

• Requirement: Water moderately when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, typically 2–3 times per week in summer.
• Tip: Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Ensure excellent drainage, as olive trees dislike "wet feet." Reduce watering in winter.

✂️ Pruning

• Requirement: Prune in spring to maintain the pompom shape and remove inward-growing or dead branches.
• Tip: Light annual pruning encourages healthy growth and preserves the tree’s ornamental structure.

🌱 Soil

• Requirement: Well-draining, neutral to slightly alkaline soil (e.g., cactus or succulent mix for potted trees).
• Tip: Add grit or stones to improve drainage, especially in containers.

🌿 Fertilizing

• Requirement: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a specialized olive tree or Mediterranean plant fertilizer.
• Tip: Avoid overfeeding, as excessive nutrients can harm the tree.

🛡️ Hardiness

• Requirement: Hardy in mild climates but requires protection from frost in colder regions.
• Tip: Move potted trees to a cool greenhouse or sheltered area during winter in regions with temperatures below -5°C.

🪴 Potting

• Requirement: Use a large pot (e.g., 70L) with drainage holes to support healthy root development.
• Tip: Pair with a terracotta pot for a classic Mediterranean look and ensure stability.

⚠️ Common Issues

• Yellow/Brown Leaves: Indicates overwatering. Reduce watering and check drainage.
• Pest Control: Monitor for scale insects or aphids. Treat with neem oil if needed.
