Frequently Asked Questions About the Olive Bonsai

Can an olive bonsai be kept indoors?

Yes, but it needs plenty of light: keep it near a south- or west-facing window. However, the ideal place is outdoors, on a balcony or terrace, from spring through autumn.

How often should an olive bonsai be watered?

There is no fixed schedule: water it when the surface of the soil feels dry to the touch. In summer, it may need water every 1-2 days, while in winter it needs much less.

When should an olive bonsai be repotted?

The best time is spring. You can move it from the growing pot into a ceramic bonsai pot with well-draining soil, slightly shortening the roots.

Is an olive bonsai a good gift?

Yes: it is a living, symbolic gift, suitable for birthdays, housewarmings, Christmas, and green wedding favors. You can add the gift message service to your order to accompany your thoughtful gesture.
