The balconies are places where you can have a vegetable paradise. It's just a matter of a little imagination, a little color and… plants! But not too much. All the extremes are bad and in this case, in addition, they can prevent this corner of your home from looking harmonious and balanced.
That being said, if you are wondering how to choose plants for my balcony, you have come to the right place. Take note of these tips to have it fabulous.
Bonsai are spectacular in any corner
Climate and exposure
One of the things to keep in mind when choosing plants for the balcony are the weather conditions and hours of light that you receive every day, since depending on this you can put some species or others. For example, if you live in a temperate climate with frosts, the most recommended plants for you are geraniums, coniferous or maple bonsai, or climbing plants such as bougainvillea; otherwise, that is, if you live in a rather mild climate, you can put for example jasmine, ferns (protected from the sun), and / or all kinds of cacti and succulent plants.
Plant placement
Once you have all the plants that will decorate your balcony, it is important to know how to place them. As I do not like to complicate myself and or complicate others, I simply you must put those that are higher behind… After transplanting them. Yes, indeed: when we buy a plant, regardless of the species, it is highly recommended to change the potexcept if it's fall or winter. Thus, you can get an idea of the space they really occupy and distribute them better. You can take advantage of the shade of the larger ones to put under those that need protection from sunlight.
Geraniums are one of the flowers that most decorate balconies: combine them as you like and enjoy their colors!
