Olea Europaea Olive Tree Seeds For Home Growing
Olea Europaea Olive Tree Seeds For Home Growing
Grow Olea Europaea 'Olive Tree' seeds into a Mediterranean-inspired indoor garden. Olive trees make elegant houseplants, and in temperate climates can be grown outdoors. For sowing, use a 12 Cavity Greenhouse or Planter with Humidity Dome. Seed prep includes scarification, a 12–24 hour pre-soak, and stratification for at least 30 days prior to planting in a cold environment (garage, outdoor area, or fridge) to mimic overwintering. After stratification, move seeds to a warm spot to continue growing. These seeds are for the 2026 growing season. Fertilize your olive trees once a year, more frequently during the growing season, especially when younger. For more germination info, consult our seed guide.
Germination typically takes 2–3 months. Plant at 1/2" to 1" depth, with 1–2 seeds per 4–6" nursery planter or soil pod. Start in a 4–6" nursery pot or greenhouse to start (no terra cotta for germination). Seed prep includes pre-soak, scarification, and stratification; method options include greenhouse or paper towel. Maintain ~60F for a month, then 70–80F. Time to maturity is >1 year. The plant is a tall tree with lush small leaves. It prefers light from full sun to grow lights, in coconut coir/peat-based soil with pH 5.5–8.5. Fertilization ranges from heavy to light. Pet-friendly for cats and dogs; pests may include scale and spittlebug (with bacterial infections).

Great product and delivery
Really nice soil and awesome service
Never used because I ordered the wrong Water Filter. Mike was very helpful with the return and refund. Excellent Customer Service.
Great service. Soil is what I wanted and it off loaded exactly where I asked.
Plants are doing really well with this soil. Deep and rich looking soil, plants seem really happy. Much more cost effective (and no plastic bag waste) compared to buying bags of soil mix from a store.
The quality of the craftsmanship is superb! My formula one fan absolutely loves it!!!!
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
