Exposure

The choice of exposure can be important to improve the growth of your banana plant over the seasons.

Indoors, it is important to regularly mist water on the foliage to recreate the conditions of its natural environment which is rather humid.

Don’t let the name startle you! With fragrant white and yellow blooms, this perfectly low-maintenance houseplant is a hardy cactus and comes with a great will to grow (and is soft to the touch). As its stems continue to sprawl outward, you may want to repot the dragon fruit to see its full potential. The blooms of this plant are unique; in fact, they are one of the largest flowers in the world. The reason that they are so unique is not their size; it is the fact that the blooms only open for one night, and the scents that you will experience on that night are surreal and exotically fruity. Miam miam :)

Exposure

The base of the plant can see a little shade, but the tips of the plant require full sun to ensure that the plant blooms properly! If too much shade is given to the plant, the fruit will not do well.

Watering

Fertilizing

To ensure that the dragon fruit is growing properly, give it some fertilizer every month during the active growing season (May to July). During the cold winter months, you will want to stop feeding your plant for a few months.

Trimming

When is establish in the pot, the trimming can be done all year.

Temperature

THIS!... is the one of oldest domesticated fruit tree "OLIVE TREE" from the Oleacea europaea family !

Ahhhh … the fabulous olive tree! Along with dates, grapes and figs, the olives was the basis of the diet of the ancient populations of the Mediterranean basin. No need to live in the south to enjoy an olive tree (Olea europaea). Grown in pots, you will have the possibility of bringing it indoors in winter, as soon as the temperatures drop below 0°C. The olive tree is a very aesthetic tree, with persistent foliage, which grows slowly (10 to 15cm per year) and which has a very long lifespan. Oliiiive Oil :)

Exposure

The base of the plant can see a little shade, but the head of the plant require full sun to ensure that the plant blooms properly! If too much shade is given to the plant, the fruit will not do well.

Watering

As it is a pot, the soil dries out quickly so it is advisable to water regularly but without excess because it remains a drought-resistant plant. Count on a weekly watering in summer and a small watering every 15 days in winter. Watering is important, especially at the beginning, so that it develops its root system correctly. But be careful, in winter the water can become worse than freezing!

Fertilizing

To ensure that the growth is properly, give it some fertilizer one time per month during the active growing season (May to July). During the cold winter months, you will want to stop feeding your plant for a few months (September to April).

Trimming

Olive trees grown in greenhouses need to be pruned in the spring, by removing rebellious, spindly, frozen or unsightly branches in order to promote a harmonious structure. Anyway, the olive tree can withstand severe pruning if necessary.

Temperature

Watch out for the arrival of winter! Some claim that the olive tree supports -10°C, however it is better to avoid that it knows temperatures going down below -5°C when it is young. The older it gets, the more resistant it will be to cold. If you have a greenhouse or a cool, bright room, overwinter your olive tree there. Otherwise, you will have to protect it by covering it completely, including the pot to protect the roots, with a winter veil. Don't worry if it loses a few leaves, it's normal ;)

Toxicity

Ok for your furry friends ;)
