It is possible, but it requires plenty of natural light. Place the pot near a south-facing window and use artificial lights if necessary.

2. When should I repot my olive tree?
Every 2-3 years, or when the roots start to come out of the drainage holes.

3. How do I protect my olive tree from the cold?
In winter, move the pot to a sheltered spot or wrap the tree in a breathable tarp to protect it from frost.

By following these steps, your potted olive tree will grow healthy, adding elegance to your space and, with a bit of luck, delicious olives to enjoy.
