I recently came across a mention of black olive trees (Bucida buceras) being used as indoor plants, and I'm curious about how to successfully grow one indoors. I'm fascinated by their unique shape and foliage and would love to incorporate one into my home. Has anyone here tried growing a black olive tree indoors? If so, could you share your tips and experiences? I'm particularly interested in: Light requirements: How much sun does it need, and what's the best positioning for it in a home setting? Watering: How often should I water it, and how can I tell if it's getting too much or too little water? Soil and potting: What kind of soil mix works best, and does it need special repotting techniques? General care: Are there any particular pests or diseases I should watch out for? Any advice or insights from those who've tried this would be greatly appreciated!
