Is it appropriate to plant flowers and plants on your balcony?

When spring comes, more and more people choose to grow flowers on their balconies, which is actually a very good choice.

In today's fast-paced city, people can not only leave a touch of green flowers on the balcony, but also give themselves a space to relax. However, many netizens left a message saying that they bought a lot of potted plants at home, but few survived. What happened? This actually has a lot to do with the orientation of the balcony. Different orientation environments are different, so the flowers suitable for planting are different.

Today Xiaobian will share with you the flowers suitable for planting in different directions on the balcony.

(1) Dongyang Station

Sunshine time: 3-4 hours

For the east balcony, the sunshine is better in the morning, and there is no direct light after noon, so it is required that the flowers planted should have certain shade tolerance, and plants with half sunshine can be accepted for planting on the east balcony. For example, our common longevity flowers, blue snowflakes, camellia, nasturtium lappa, clivia, rhododendron, crab claw orchids, etc. can all be kept on the east balcony.

Longevity flower is a typical short-day flower, which is most suitable for the exposure of Camellia in Dongyang Station

for fear of direct sunlight

(2) Sunshine time in Xiyang Station

: mainly from 2 pm to before sunset, which belongs to semi-sunshine.

Generally, there is no sunshine on the balcony facing west in the morning, but the sunshine will gradually increase in the afternoon, which means that it is better to raise flowers that are more resistant to sunlight on the west balcony, because the sun exposure on this balcony is usually particularly serious, especially in summer. If you want to raise flowers well, it is better to choose wisteria, honeysuckle and morning glory, which can climb vines, so as to be more suitable for this environment. Under the protection of green barrier, most grass flowers and positive woody flowers can actually thrive safely, such as midday flowers, impatiens, gladiolus, cockscomb flowers, canna, tuberose, dahlia, geranium, cactus, kumquat, jasmine, daidai, pomegranate, hibiscus, Yingchun, cycad, cypress and longbai. In winter, the balcony facing west can also receive sufficient sunshine, which is a good place to raise potted flowers in winter.

(3) Nanyang Terrace

Sunshine time: The balcony facing south all day

has a great advantage. This advantage lies in the abundant sunshine, which is especially suitable for the growth of some important flowers that like sunshine, such as sunflower, Petunia, jasmine, Milan, clematis and Chinese rose.

(4) North Balcony

The North Balcony can be said to be the balcony with the least light among all balconies. Even in summer, the light will be much less, so it is more important to choose flowers on such balconies. Plants that like the sun should not be raised here, but those that like the shade, such as Phalaenopsis, Hupilan, Phyllostachys pubescens, copper money grass and ivy, should be raised. They don't like sunshine very much, and they can grow well on the north balcony where there is a slight lack of sunshine. Moreover, the ornamental value of these plants is extremely high, and they are very popular at home.
