There are many differences between growing flowers on the balcony and planting flowers in the courtyard on the ground. In order to raise them well, we must pay attention to the following points:

1. Light

It is the orientation of the balcony that affects the balcony lighting. Planting those flowers and trees on the balcony is better, according to the orientation of the balcony, as well as the local climatic conditions, the habits of flower varieties to decide.

South-facing balcony, strong light, plant heat absorption, transpiration is also large, it is appropriate to plant sunny and drought-resistant flowers. Such as succulent plant cactus, cactus, gemstone flowers and so on. It is also like Petunia and Clematis. Scutellaria barbata, night incense, rose, pomegranate, June snow, a string of red, iron tree and so on.

two。 Water and temperature

The balcony is well ventilated and the air is dry, so watering is the key. Pay attention to watering and spraying water to the leaves and the ground. The flowerpot should be large, because the soil is divided, the water is stored, and it is not easy to dry, or put the flowerpot into a shallow water basin, and the water can be supplied continuously because of the capillary appointment. You can also put a basin of water around the potted flowers to make them evaporate naturally and improve the local microclimate. The potted flowers on the balcony should pay attention to the appropriate density, slightly denser, because more potted flowers can evaporate water together to increase the humidity of the surrounding air.

3. Temperature

The balcony is generally the floor and walls of cement, when the sun shines, due to the reflection of cement, the temperature rises, especially toward the west balcony, when the sun is partial in the afternoon, the balcony is full of sunshine and the temperature rises obviously, this kind of radiation is disadvantageous to growth, therefore, water can be sprinkled on the balcony, and some heat can be brought when the water evaporates.

4. Wind blowing

Wind is flowing air, and plants need this kind of environment to grow. However, too strong wind is often harmful to plants. When the wind is too strong. The windproof plate can be installed appropriately.
