Care and maintenance
- Light: direct or very bright light – the Olive loves full sun; indoors, place it near the brightest window; in summer, outdoor placement is preferable
- Watering: moderate – the Olive is drought-resistant; allow the substrate to dry out between waterings; in a small pot, check more frequently during summer
- Temperature: hardy and resistant to cold temperatures once well established; in a small pot, protect it below -5°C
- Fertilization: every 3–4 weeks in spring and summer with a fertilizer specifically formulated for bonsai
- Pruning: prune excess branches in late winter or after flowering to maintain its shape; the foliage can be reduced using the summer defoliation technique
- Repotting: every 3–4 years in spring, using a well-draining substrate specifically formulated for bonsai
The Olive Bonsai in an Alba pot is much more than a plant: it is a miniature piece of Mediterranean landscape, capable of inspiring emotion with its quiet strength and timeless beauty. An exclusive gift for those who appreciate nature in its most authentic and refined form.
