@PlantsBySD Hi Sam! I have a couple of olive and a couple avocado trees-( I do need to put them on Greg! I don’t have but about half my babies on here! I keep putting it off😔) The only thing I do for these trees ( they are inside!) is to treat them like all my other plants but…. They required a lot more light than my others! I make sure they stay under the strongest light I have for at least 10-12 hours a day. I noticed yours said only a few hours of light, they need A LOT more than that I think. Maybe it is lack of light? I am by no means a pro! I have just learned by doing and keep doing what works and stop doing by what doesn’t. However after almost 30 years, that’s a good bit of trial by error!🤣 I have lost many plants and trees in my day, believe me! Also, mine like to dry out before I water them but they don’t like to stay dry! I only allow it for a day or so before I soak them throughly and let the excess drain completely. They also need to be fed fertilizer as well, but not during this time of year, it’s fall so maybe after Christmas a diluted liquid fertilizer would be ok. I hope I mentioned at least something that will assist you in some small way and I wish you the very best of luck! 🪴🌼
Thank you so much. Very helpful.
