Olive tree cultivation methods and precautions

1. Soil

Olive trees do not have high requirements for soil. It is best to use loose, humus-rich alkaline soil. If acidic soil is used, the roots will easily be unable to absorb nutrients, which may cause the death of the plant.

2. Lighting

It is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient light, especially during its growth period, it is necessary to ensure sufficient light, so that it can grow more luxuriantly. If it grows in a shady place for a long time, it will grow poorly. In addition, when the light is strong in summer, it is necessary to provide appropriate shade to prevent the strong light from burning the leaves.

3. Temperature

Olive trees like warmth. When caring for them, it is best to provide them with a growing environment above 20°C and ensure proper ventilation. A warm growing environment is more conducive to their growth. When the temperature is low in winter, warming measures should be taken to avoid frostbite and cause leaves to fall off.

IV. Precautions

Pruning: During the growth period, diseased and dead branches should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption. It is best to prune during the dormant period and avoid pruning during the growth period if possible.
