How to Growing an Olive Tree from Seed in a Pot (Page 3 ) | November 26, 2023

Step 4: Care for Seedling

  • Once the seed germinates and the seedling emerges, remove the plastic bag.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  • Maintain the pot in a location with plenty of indirect sunlight.

Step 5: Transplanting

When the seedling has developed several sets of true leaves and is strong enough to be handled, it can be transplanted into a larger pot. Use a pot with good drainage holes and fill it with a well-draining, soil-based potting mix enriched with organic matter.

Step 6: Regular Care

  • Water the olive tree regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
  • Place the pot in a sunny location, ideally receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Feed the olive tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer according to the package instructions, generally every 2-3 months.
  • Prune the olive tree to maintain its shape and size, removing any dead or diseased branches.
