Step 4: Care for Seedling

• Once the seed germinates and the seedling emerges, remove the plastic bag.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Maintain the pot in a location with plenty of indirect sunlight.

Step 5: Transplanting

When the seedling has developed several sets of true leaves and is strong enough to be handled, it can be transplanted into a larger pot. Use a pot with good drainage holes and fill it with a well-draining, soil-based potting mix enriched with organic matter.

Step 6: Regular Care

• Water the olive tree regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• Place the pot in a sunny location, ideally receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Feed the olive tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer according to the package instructions, generally every 2-3 months.
• Prune the olive tree to maintain its shape and size, removing any dead or diseased branches.
