Plant Care

Watering:
Proper watering is essential for the health and vitality of your Mini Olive Topiary Lollipop. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the soil moisture regularly by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil; if it feels dry, it's time to water. Ensure that excess water can drain freely from the pot to prevent root rot. During the growing season, typically spring through early fall, water more frequently, and reduce watering during the dormant winter months. Adjust watering frequency based on environmental conditions such as humidity levels and temperature.We recommend measuring the moisture of the soil with a moisture meter.

Light:
Your Mini Olive Topiary Lollipop thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a south- or west-facing window where it can receive ample sunlight without being exposed to direct, intense rays. If natural light is limited, supplement with artificial grow lights designed for indoor plants. Rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even exposure to light and prevent one side from becoming leggy. Keep in mind that insufficient light can lead to sparse growth and reduced vitality, while excessive sunlight can scorch the leaves.

Fertilizing:
To support healthy growth and vibrant foliage, fertilize your Mini Olive Topiary Lollipop during the growing season. Use a balanced, liquid fertilizer formulated for indoor plants, diluted to half-strength, approximately every four to six weeks. Apply the fertilizer solution to moist soil to avoid burning the roots. During the dormant winter months, reduce or suspend fertilization to allow the plant to rest. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding application rates and frequency to prevent overfertilization, which can harm the plant.

Repotting:
As your Mini Olive Topiary Lollipop grows, it may eventually outgrow its current container. Monitor the plant for signs such as roots emerging from drainage holes or the soil becoming compacted. Repot the olive tree into a slightly larger container with well-draining potting mix, preferably in the spring when it's actively growing. Gently remove the plant from its current pot, teasing out the roots if they're tightly bound, and place it in the new container at the same depth as before. Fill in the gaps with fresh potting soil, water thoroughly, and allow the plant to adjust to its new home. Repeat the repotting process as needed every one to two years to promote healthy growth and prevent root-bound conditions.
