How does the 50-inch small garden on the roof of the sixth floor have a view of the four seasons?

There is a small terrace garden, I am on the sixth floor, roof balcony 50 +, sitting north facing south! Self-built buildings on the riverbank in the center of a small city in the south! The little garden has done most of it! Is it true that the key to beauty is the combination of plants and landscaping so that there are landscapes in all seasons?

Compared with balcony gardens and household gardens, roof gardens are independent, large in area and highly malleable, but because they are located on the roof, the key factors such as fire protection, load-bearing, waterproofing and daily maintenance are considered first. in addition to lightweight Arbor, flower racks, etc., non-professional architects should not build heavy buildings on the roof at will (say important things three times! )

Try not to choose flowers and small trees that are deeply rooted and grow fast upward, one is to leave hidden dangers to the floor, and the other is to have an impact on windbreak.

Plants are alive, have personality, have characteristics, each kind of plant, is an encyclopedia, if you just want to simply plant, then you can ignore my above description of the plant, please remember, more reference to the previous several key factors: fire, load-bearing, waterproof, wind-proof, insect-proof, fall-proof.

Plants are based on "containers" to determine their own growth rate, if it is a solid ceramic, cement flowerpot, generally speaking, the growth rate is relatively slow (less than a few cm a year), suitable for ornamental, care and finishing work is also relatively easy.

If the roof temperature is too low, plants will go into dormancy or frostbite, stop growing and even die.

In this way, the light transmittance, ventilation and warmth of the roof garden should be carefully considered so that the plants can be more worry-free.

Many herbs can withstand extreme heat (after all, they are mainly subtropical and tropical plants), but they are not resistant to low temperatures. Plants generally like warm, humid, well-lit environments, and the best environment is a transparent and sheltered glass roof or open air.

Black pine, cypress, yellow poplar, crape myrtle, elm, cold-resistant non-deciduous wood, generally safe to winter outdoors in the south; Fusang, pomegranate, bauhinia and so on are hardy deciduous trees, the leaves will fall, and new buds will sprout next spring.
