Olive Trees: Classic Mediterranean Elegance for Your Home
Why Choose an Olive Tree?
Olive trees are drought-tolerant, slow-growing, and sculptural—making them perfect for minimalist or Mediterranean-inspired décor. Their evergreen leaves provide year-round beauty, and with proper care, they can even produce fruit over time!
How to Care for an Olive Tree
- Light: Needs full sun—place near a bright window or outdoors in a sunny spot.
- Water: Let the top few inches of soil dry out before watering. Avoid soggy soil.
- Container: Use a pot with good drainage. Terracotta works well for airflow.
- Pruning: Trim lightly to maintain shape and encourage airflow.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Growing
While olive trees love the sun, they also adjust well indoors if given enough light. For patios or verandas, they bring a Mediterranean charm that pairs beautifully with stone, clay, or wooden elements.
