Olive tree leaves keep falling
I bought this olive tree a week ago. The tree had planted in a very small pot, so I repotted three days ago. (I use indoor potting mix).
After then, leaves keep falling. 🥲
Please give me some advice for this olive tree.

Hi there! My guess would be that your olive tree is undergoing transplant stress and haven't had sufficient time to recover.
Here's what you can do:
1. Allow your olive tree to recover under favourable condition (full sun) for a few days.
2. Recheck your potting mix as olive trees do not favour mix that holds water for long periods as their roots are small. Your potting mix should be able to drain effectively but not dry out.
You can try mixing both "cacti/succulent mix" and "indoor mix", perhaps a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio.

Just keep caring for it. They don’t like to be too dry. Don’t forget these are hard to grow indoors. Just stand for it to live. Mine dropped leaves like crazy when I first brought it home. I think it is finicky about being moved to a new place. It loves the south greenhouse window in the kitchen and it’s cool out there in winter. Stay determined and let’s pray they do make it to summer when it can go out for the summer. Don’t be surprised if it drops all its leaves when it comes back in. 🥰❤️🌱
