Οδηγίες Φροντίδας
**Care Instructions for Ελιά Κορωνεϊκή (Olea europaea)** - **Light:** Requires full sun for optimal growth and fruit production. Position in a bright, south-facing spot where the plant receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. - **Watering:** Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Olive trees are drought-tolerant once established but avoid prolonged waterlogging, which can cause root rot. Reduce watering in winter. - **Soil:** Prefers well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. A sandy or loamy soil enriched with organic matter works best. Good drainage is essential to prevent water retention around the roots. - **Temperature:** Hardy to mild frost but thrives in warm, Mediterranean-type climates. Ideal temperatures range from 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Protect from severe frost below -5°C (23°F) by moving potted plants indoors or providing shelter. - **Humidity:** Olive trees tolerate low to moderate humidity and do not require high humidity levels. Ensure good air circulation to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. - **Feeding:** Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring and again in mid-summer to support healthy growth and fruiting. Alternatively, use a liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Regular pruning after harvest helps maintain shape and encourages healthy new growth.
