How to fertilize Arbequina Olive Tree
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Arbequina Olive Tree after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Losing leaves and seems to have become brittle in some of the branches. Have I let it dry out too much? Was fed last week with olive food.

Olivia my olive tree keeps dropping her leaves I recently brought home this tall and full olive tree and I am still new to looking after indoor plants or in this case, tree. I have bought a grow light and the tree gets lots of indirect light through the day as well. It’s in a good sized pot and mostly everything looks good. Apart from the amount of leaves dropping! Some are dry, some are not and a very small amount is starting to turn yellow. I have had it for about 3 weeks now and watered only twice. There’s good drainage too but still, the leaves won’t stop falling. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong here? Thanks!

Droopy tips on Olive Tree. Hi all One of my Olive trees in the last week or two has started getting these like droopy tips on the branches. I water them once a week (every Saturday) and feed every 2 weeks. Do I need to do anything about this or is it where the tree is growing? I can’t repot it the pot is already as big as I can have, I don’t know if pruning is in order? I’m also not sure how to prune it and don’t want to even try if it’s not a problem haha. Any advice would be appreciated!
