DESCRIPTION

The Big Olive Tree (Olea europaea) is a stunning addition to any plant collection, known for its attractive silver-green foliage and gnarled trunk, symbolizing peace and abundance. Originating from the sun-drenched regions of the Mediterranean, this tree thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. In Singapore's humid climate, it is best to water the olive tree once a week, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. During the rainy season, watering frequency should be reduced. The olive tree is relatively easy to care for, being drought-tolerant once established, and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. However, it is essential to keep it out of reach of pets, as it can be toxic if ingested. The Big Olive Tree appreciates well-drained soil and dislikes overly wet conditions. This elegant tree brings a touch of Mediterranean charm to your home, offering a unique blend of beauty and resilience.
