PetalPal
Safe for cats and dogs. Any plant can still upset a pet’s stomach if they eat a lot, so keep it out of reach.
Light
Full sun. The more, the better.
Water
On the dry side. Water only when it's bone-dry.
Temperature
Very adaptable, down to -5°C
Feed
Once a month in spring and summer
Do this when you get home
- Put it on the sunniest balcony or windowsill. In a dim room it drops leaves easily.
- Water only when the soil is bone-dry. Olives take drought and hate wet feet.
Day to day
- In winter, water a bit less
- Turn the pot now and then so every side gets sun
- You can prune it into a ball, or a single trunk
Common questions
It kept dropping leaves after I brought it home?
Usually not enough light. Move it to the sunniest spot, and ease up on watering.
