It sounds like your olive tree might be stressed! Yellowing leaves that eventually drop off can be caused by several issues. Here are the most common reasons and how to fix them:

1. Overwatering or Poor Drainage

• Signs: Yellow leaves, soft or mushy roots, waterlogged soil.
• Fix:
• Make sure the pot (if potted) has proper drainage holes.
• Let the soil dry out between waterings.
• Olive trees prefer well-draining soil — you can mix regular potting soil with sand or gravel.

️ 2. Lack of Sunlight

• Signs: Pale or yellowing leaves, slow growth.
• Fix:
• Olive trees need 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• If it's indoors, place it near a sunny window or use a grow light.

3. Nutrient Deficiency

• Signs: Yellow leaves with green veins (indicating iron deficiency) or pale, weak leaves.
• Fix:
• Use a balanced fertilizer (like a 10-10-10) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.
• If iron deficiency is suspected, try an iron supplement or a foliar spray.

Best Practice:

- Feed your olive tree every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer (like 10-10-10).

- If you notice yellowing between the veins, that’s a sign of iron deficiency — in that case, try adding an iron-rich supplement.
