Care and maintenance of the fruit olive bonsai

Taking care of the olea europaea is simple, even for those who are a beginner with the world of bonsai. The plant prefers a light position outside, exposed to the direct sun for several hours a day: it is a Mediterranean species that loves heat and light. During the winter it is advisable to protect it from intense frost, perhaps with a non-woven fabric or positioning it in a cold greenhouse.

Watering must be adjusted but moderate: abundantly wets up when the superficial layer of the soil is dry, avoiding water stagnation, which the olive fear more than drought.

Included with each bonsai, you will receive a detailed botanical card with all the useful tips to keep it healthy and make it thrive the best.
