Hanging plants for balconies with original design

Do you want to have a different balcony? Do not hesitate to put the plants that I am going to present to you below. And it is that, although geraniums, China Roses, and even some trees are the undisputed protagonists of the design of this corner of the home, there are those who prefer to opt for other types of plants, which perhaps are not so well known, but the truth is that they are gaining more and more popularity due to their easy maintenance.

Let's meet these precious hanging plants for balconies.

Chamacereus silvestrii

This cactus is spectacular. Its scientific name is Chamacereus silvestrii, although it is better known by its popular name: Cactus peanut. It has a reduced size: a maximum of 50cm wide with stems that do not lengthen more than 15cm. It is a lover of the sun, and has incredibly beautiful red flowers. And if that were not enough, it resists intense frosts without difficulty.

Hatiora gaertneri

And what about this other species of cactus? The Hatiora gaertneri, or also Easter Cactus, has a shrubby habit, reaching a height of less than one meter. It is a bit colder than the previous plant, but that is not a problem since you can protect it indoors during the colder months.

Rhipsalis pilocarpa

El Rhipsalis pilocarpa It is a peculiar cactus, since it has several white hairs (thorns) that cover it. It is a rare species in its natural habitat; on the contrary, in nurseries and garden centers it is easy to find. Its flowers are light yellow, and it is not resistant to cold. It can be had both on the balcony and at home.

Schlumberg was

Who does not know the Schlumberg was or Christmas cactus? Its incredible and beautiful pink, yellow or red flowers will make the place where they are placed have a ... special color, as the Andalusians would say. Of course, you have to bear in mind that if there are intense frosts in your area, it is preferable that you protect it so that it does not suffer damage.

Well, which one did you like the most?
