Olive Focus contains a balanced blend of essential macro and micronutrients that are specifically tailored to meet the nutritional requirements of olive trees. The fertilizer contains a higher ratio of potassium to nitrogen and phosphorus, which is ideal for promoting fruit development and enhancing the quality of the olives.

The grow pot height is standardised (normally 12cm or 19cm) and shown on the size option for each hydroculture plant. Ensure the external height of your decorative pot is at least 2-3cm higher than the grow pot height of the hydroculture plant. Drainage: Traditional indoor plant pots have drainage holes and stand in saucers to allow excess water to drain freely. For modern decorative plant pots without drainage holes the grow pot could be stood inside the pot on a saucer, or in a pot liner for extra protection. Alternatively, for a professional design look, the plant can be repotted directly into a pot liner with a layer of hydrogranules to provide both a drainage layer and a reservoir for the plant. The roots above the granules will pull the water gently out of the granules (capillary action) to keep them moist but not wet. Hydroculture plants - These require a hydro kit for assembly, this includes a waterproof pot liner with a base wide enough to accommodate the hydroculture grow pot. The size tip provided for each hydroculture plant provides a recommended size for the external diameter of the decorative pots that will accommodate the specified waterproof liner. In taller planters they allow for the soil to be contained to an appropriate depth for the plant, without needing to fill the entire vessel with soil. This ensures the root system is surrounded in optimum moisture content rather than it draining to the bottom beyond the roots. One of the benefits of using Olive Focus is that it is easy to use. The product comes in a liquid form, which can be easily mixed with water and applied to the olive trees. The recommended dosage is 10ml per litre of water, which should be applied every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.Artstone planters include a non-removable water reservoir, which raises the internal base height of the planter. These planters work best with the plant re-potted directly into them rather than left in their grow pots. If the intention is to leave the plant in its grow pot and sit it directly into the Artstone planter rather than re-potting the plant directly into the planter, please ensure you select a large enough size that will have enough internal height to hide the grow pot. Olive Focus has been developed to give olives everything they need for a healthy life. In this country, many people grow olives in containers, in a conservatory. This gives them a good environment, but they can easily suffer from mineral deficiency if not fed correctly. Olive Focus has all 14 essential elements a plant needs as well as seaweed extracts to maintain health. It promotes long term fertility with plants that go for long periods between potting up. Olive Focus is a liquid plant fertilizer specifically designed for the cultivation of olive trees. It is formulated to provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth, strong roots, and optimal fruit production in olive trees. Liners come in various sizes to fit the internal dimensions of the pot and can be trimmed down to size to create an unobtrusive barrier for the plant and soil to be potted into, whilst protecting the pot from unsightly calcium or fertiliser deposits from the soil.

Hydroculture plant roots have been specially adapted to grow in hydrogranules, which creates a smaller, more fleshy and hardier root system. This results in mature plants being available in smaller grow pots than their soil based equivalents. How do I choose the correct sized decorative pot to fit my houseplant? Soil Depth: When repotting allow a little room for the roots to spread. The soil should not be so shallow that without drainage the roots will sit in water, nor so deep that the water drains below the roots leaving the plant to dry out. The Growth Technology Focus range targets the specific needs of a variety of plants to give them tailor made nutrition. Through exhaustive research and development, their nutrients will allow plants to really achieve the peak of their growing and fruiting potential. Alternatives to Olive Focus For hydroculture plants use the size tip to select a decorative pot that will accommodate the waterproof liner recommended for the plant in the hydro kit. Plant sizes are shown as the grow pot diameter x the total height of the plant. This means the diameter of the grow pot at the top of rim x the total height of the plant including the grow pot. It therefore includes the plant roots etc as well as the height or length of the plant.Determine the plant's grow pot diameter. Compare this to the size of the opening of your chosen decorative pot and ensure it is big enough to insert the plant's grow pot through the opening (see diagram below).
