An example of balcony flower planting: a mini balcony for one person

Data: open balcony, area 3 to 7 square meters, 5th floor, scattered light in the morning, direct light in the afternoon, mainly foliage and succulent plants

If the balcony of the home is only wide enough for one person to pass, and the parapet shows a sloping narrow pattern, most people will give up turning it into a garden. However, after discussion with the designer, the owner succeeded in creating a small and beautiful balcony garden on the top floor to the west of his house.

When I came to the long, narrow balcony of the top floor, I first smelled the fragrance of cypress, and what came into view was a natural garden covered with planks and juniper shavings. In order to match the overall tone, designers often use plain fired pottery pots, bamboo fences and wooden boxes. In order to achieve the green effect that homeowners want, designers also use a large number of potted plants, according to the size and location of potted plants, and deliberately decorate a little colorful grass flowers in the green sea with different leaves, creating a rich and compact sense of garden. If you look carefully at the location of different kinds of plants, you will find that grass flowers, vanilla and succulent plants are mostly in places where the sun can shine directly, while the space in the corner and under the parapet is filled with foliage and ferns, breaking the restrictions of the pattern with plant properties.

The glass bottle is paired with foamed stone and aluminum wire handle to become a sketch on the shelf.

The chair whose surface is damaged and discarded, covered with water moss, is the display platform for all kinds of succulent plants.

The high wall is exposed to sunlight for a long time, so it is suitable for placing succulent plants.

Ouhuahua, the Doberman in the owner's home, also curiously appreciates the new balcony at home.

Creative focus one: enlarge the space for the active use of the wall

In the balcony of small area, metope is one of the keys of spatial performance. Make good use of metope can make empty balcony, become bigger and richer immediately. The designer first paints all the metope into white, which can magnify the visual effect of the space, and then choose a variety of hedges and racks that can hang plants to increase the placement space of potted plants. If this is not enough, the wall laminate is also very good material. The compact laminate is suitable for creative potted plants, eye-catching and refreshing.

Put small potted plants on the flower rack in the shape of the swing, which is very innocent and childlike.

The recycled old wood has many advantages to be nailed to the wall, and the cracks and markings on the board add to the sense of simplicity.

Winding the basin with aluminum wire at will and fixing it on the wall fence, there is a sense of casual life.

Creative focus 2: the combination of potted plants varies a lot.

Because the owner of the house wants to have the overall sense of a large number of plants, in the case of limited space, making use of the rich and changeable characteristics of potted plants, he quietly arranged potted plants of all kinds of vanilla, grass flowers and foliage plants in the garden, together with pots of different shapes, which set off each other, which is also the key weapon to turn the small balcony into the garden.

The wooden box is stuffed with water moss and put into the humid plants such as my aunt's taro and ferns, which is a combination pot suitable for placing at the foot of the daughter's wall.

The combination of potted plants except with plant types, leaf shape and leaf color are also the best expressions of creativity.

Creative focus 3: potted plants are placed high and low to create levels.

The long and narrow balcony is the most common pattern. In order to avoid monotony in spatial planning, we can use materials such as flower racks, cabinets and chairs to create a non-single level, so that there is not only a coordinated visual movement line, but also more convenient to take care of plants, so that there is a proper space between potted plants, plants will grow better.

If there is no shelf, you can also use potted flowers of different sizes to create the same sense of hierarchy.
