I bought a little olive tree to put on my balcony. I nearly bought it during winter but I convinced myself to wait for it to get a little warmer. Just have to get some potting soil and a larger pot and it should hopefully do well? I saw my downstairs neighbours have one that's thriving so the climate should be ok :)
I guess I have a question: do plants really need different soil types? The little card that came with the tree says it requires special Mediterranean soil, but that sounds kinda fake to me tbh.
I am not an authority, but @Track_Shovel might have some advice for you about what kind of substrate/soil would work well for you.
