The small balcony satisfies all my gardening dreams and teaches you how to build a balcony garden.

Flower cultivation is a patient and meticulous work that requires interest. It takes several years to practice. It is recommended to try several kinds first, not to take up too much energy and not to invest too much money, and then increase year by year. For good reputation to live, but they can feed what kind of really not necessarily, really have to try.

If you want to raise a good flower environment, you must do a good job. You must have light, strong ventilation and moisture as much as possible. This year, because the sun is too hot and the house is not ventilated in the south, my rose grows insects. After a few waves of flowers, it dies! There is no such thing as an open balcony!

Step 1: Select plants according to the balcony orientation and light duration. Open the balcony and choose cold-resistant and easy-to-winter plants.

--Recommend several southbound and westbound options, too many choices--

Woody: one Japanese red maple in large pots; one small pine; two globular holly of different sizes;

Climbing vines: Clematis, vine rose, long flowering period, to buy cold-resistant varieties, preferably more than three years of seedlings; morning glory, radish herbs, one species per year, seed germination in the second year of the pot.

Erect: geranium is a good choice, drought tolerance does not grow insects, flowers all year round, when hot put cool place summer, cold moved to the house for winter; dwarf sunflower, spring sowing autumn harvest, large pots, summer fertilizer and more watering; there are miniature rose, European month, beautiful rhythm of death

Aquatic: make a big vat to raise water lily, raise a few small fish again. Get a big pot and grow a water hyacinth. A place with some copper grass and half sun.

Hanging type: do not recommend hanging roof, watering flowers is very laborious, can be hung on railings, petunia, hanging geranium

Food: Choose not to love long insects. Cucumbers, loofah climbing walls. Buy a vertical multi-layer flowerpot rack, spinach, lettuce, coriander, shallot…tomatoes really do not recommend, love long insects, like big fat, generally do not hang fruit.

Clematis and geranium on my south-facing balcony, and my friend's moon on the lower right.

--Plants facing east and north, suitable for semi-sunlight or scattered light--

Climbing vines: vine pseudo-ginseng, good to live to death, water and drought resistance, green special eye-pleasing, but also can eat, winter root click a cut to take the house winter, the second year out and covered with railings. Ivy, winter indoors.

Upright type: mint, choose delicious varieties of spearmint, lemon mint, summer pinch a few leaves to adjust a mojito, comfortable!

North facing balcony for friends, more like shade green plants, some light when the sun rises and sets

Step 2: Choose the right flowerpot and tools (advanced requirements, but you can't get around this step if you want to keep it well)

Flower pot: size, depth, permeability, according to the growth habits of flower roots and flower years to determine

Soil: too many types, mainly considering high permeability, good water permeability, the above recommended are ordinary soil on the line.

Fertilizer: base fertilizer is needed for initial planting, water and fertilizer and slow release fertilizer are needed for growth.

Drugs: Insecticides and fungicides

Step 3: Look at it every day, spend two hours a week watering, pruning, occasionally applying medicine, applying fertilizer every two months, and changing to a large pot after two years.

PS: Indoor flower cultivation is really not as good as outdoor. Plants are supposed to experience the natural baptism of sun, rain, strong wind and blizzard. We forced them to change for ourselves.

Finally, I use a few pictures to express what I said. From an aesthetic point of view, there is no most beautiful, only more beautiful! May you reach this level in five years!
