Can the olive tree bonsai be grown at home?

Dear Pierpaolo, olive trees are typical plants of the Mediterranean climate, as such to survive and vegetate at their best they must be grown in a climate as similar to the Mediterranean one, especially if grown as bonsai, that is in a tiny pot and with a root system. Whether the piata is kept indoors or outdoors depends only on the general climatic conditions: when the more the climate your olive tree holds is similar to a Mediterranean climate, the better your plant will be. is characterized by four seasons that are strongly different from each other: fresh and rainy spring, hot and dry summer, autumn still fresh and very rainy, and winter on average cold and with little rainfall.In the apartment, however, the climate generally looks like a continuum fairly homogeneous of a single season (at least as regards temperatures), with autumn and winter with 20 ° C, very dry (imp the heating system dries the air completely), a slightly cooler spring, but little, and slightly more humid (if the spring is hot, the heating systems are switched off and the windows are opened, thus decreasing the temperatures inside the house and leaving enter a little of the humidity present outside), and a summer that is generally very dry, but lately decidedly cool, given the extensive use of fans and air conditioners. olive tree bonsai in the house, he will have to find an unheated room, where in winter the temperatures drop even below 10 °; in addition to this in spring and autumn he will have to try to make the air in which he grows his olive tree very humid, vaporizing it often.Generally these plants are grown outdoors, because in Italy, even on the terrace, the climate is manifested. more suitable for its bonsai olive tree.If we grow a plant such as the olive tree in an apartment, it is likely to be ruined over the years, especially by the very dry air present in the house, but also by the unusual heat it will be subjected to during winter months, which will not allow the plant to enter the dormant seeds that generally pass during the coldest months of the year. And the plants “know” what season we are in, as they perceive the differences in the hours of light and darkness due to the different seasons in which we find ourselves, so I advise you to cultivate yours olive tree bonsai outdoors, or at least in the stairwell, where domestic heating should have a little less impact on the climate.
