It’s nice to go out on the balcony in the morning and enjoy the fresh smell of flowers. However, in a metropolis, the view from the window rarely resembles alpine meadows and endless fields. Increasingly, residents of cities resort to landscaping their balconies. And it is not surprising, because this process does not need additional services such as a construction examination. Create your own garden on the balcony by everyone
Where to start
Often on balconies they store objects that are unlikely to ever come in handy. First of all, it is necessary to free the area from unnecessary things and old trash. After careful cleaning, you need to think over the further work plan. It is worth determining the type and size of plants, select the design of pots and containers. Small balconies should not be overloaded with a large number of colors. The ideal option is the placement of rectangular boxes around the perimeter of the room and small containers behind the balcony.
Vertical landscaping
Nerbing plants will not only delight the eye, but also protect the room from excessive solar radiation. This type of landscaping is also convenient to use if multi -storey buildings are too close to each other, and curious neighbors from the building opposite can look out the windows. For vertical landscaping, decorative beans, curly nastots and annual kobei are ideal.
Which flowers to choose
When landscaping the balcony, it is necessary to take into account the number of sunlight, the average wind power and the temperature of your region. Some plants do not tolerate temperature drops that occur in hot climate. Geranium, fuchsia, begonia, aloe grow well on balconies. In some cases, the use of several pots with cacti will be appropriate, which, incidentally, bloom very beautifully. Long -flowering plants look profitable. Seat for them is sold in any supermarket. However, you can plant the seeds yourself at the end of winter, then by summer they will already be ready for transplantation. Petunia and Surfinia look spectacular. These plants do not like rain on them, but even after the rain, new flowers bloom after a day. Installation of a visor for such plants is desirable, but optional.
