{"title":"Olive Trees","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Olive Tree has been cultivated for over six thousand years — and it's easy to understand why. The narrow, grey-green leaves with their silver undersides, the gnarled character that develops in the trunk over time, and the unhurried Mediterranean temperament make it one of the most beautiful indoor trees you can grow. It needs plenty of light and very little else. Place it in your sunniest window and leave it to become something.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"common-olive-tree-olea-europaea","title":"Olive Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe olive tree is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. It has been growing in Mediterranean gardens, courtyards, and hillsides for thousands of years which tells you something important about its character. The Olive is unhurried, undemanding, and deeply accustomed to the rhythms of a well-lived life. Indoors, it brings that same quality: ancient, beautiful, and remarkably easy to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOlea europaea is grown indoors primarily for its form and foliage the narrow, grey-green leaves with silver undersides that shimmer in natural light, and the gnarled, characterful trunk that develops over time. In good light it may produce small white flowers and eventually tiny olives, but even without fruit it's a genuinely beautiful plant. It's also genuinely pet-safe, which makes it an excellent choice for homes with animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a plant with centuries of pedigree and the temperament to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Olive Tree brings something most houseplants can't: the feeling of the Mediterranean. The combination of grey-green foliage, silvery undersides, and increasingly characterful trunk as the plant matures creates a look that's impossible to replicate with any other plant. It's also one of the few trees that can be kept beautifully in a pot for years responding well to light pruning that encourages a pleasing shape and keeps it in proportion with its space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright direct or indirect light.

A south-facing window or a sunny conservatory is ideal. Without sufficient light, the plant will survive but become leggy and sparse. Moving it outdoors in summer (once temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees F) dramatically improves its health and vigor. Pruning in spring encourages a dense, bushy shape rather than a leggy one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more care tips, visit our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/house-plant-resource-the-worlds-wiki-for-indoor-tropical-foliage-plants\"\u003ePlant Care Library\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House Plant Dropship","offers":[{"title":"6\" Pot \/ Nursery Pot","offer_id":53435462975672,"sku":"6_ED_OLIVE_COMMON","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" Pot \/ Nursery Pot","offer_id":53435463008440,"sku":"4_ED_OLIVE_COMMON","price":69.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10\" Pot \/ Nursery Pot","offer_id":53435463041208,"sku":"10_ED_OLIVE_COMMON","price":204.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4\" Pot \/ Eco Pot Terra Cotta","offer_id":53435463073976,"sku":"4_ED_OLIVE_COMMON_POT_ECO.TERRACOTTA_4IN","price":67.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4\" Pot \/ Eco Pot Black","offer_id":53435463106744,"sku":"4_ED_OLIVE_COMMON_POT_ECO.BLACK_4IN","price":67.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4\" Pot \/ Eco Pot White","offer_id":53435463139512,"sku":"4_ED_OLIVE_COMMON_POT_ECO.WHITE_4IN","price":67.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4\" Pot \/ Cow Pot","offer_id":53435463172280,"sku":"4_ED_OLIVE_COMMON_POT_COW_4IN","price":67.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6\" Pot \/ Eco Pot Terra Cotta","offer_id":53435463205048,"sku":"6_ED_OLIVE_COMMON_POT_ECO.TERRACOTTA_6IN","price":91.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" Pot \/ Eco Pot Black","offer_id":53435463237816,"sku":"6_ED_OLIVE_COMMON_POT_ECO.BLACK_6IN","price":91.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6\" Pot \/ Eco Pot White","offer_id":53435463270584,"sku":"6_ED_OLIVE_COMMON_POT_ECO.WHITE_6IN","price":91.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6\" Pot \/ Cow Pot","offer_id":53435463303352,"sku":"6_ED_OLIVE_COMMON_POT_COW_6IN","price":91.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0537\/2864\/1208\/files\/6_ED_OLIVE_COMMON.Square.png?v=1777918540"}],"url":"https:\/\/ouiverte.com\/collections\/olive-trees.oembed","provider":"Oui Verte","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
