The 4-square-meter enclosed balcony is home to tens of thousands of flowers, so you can enjoy flowers all year round!

"Deep Blue and Deep Purple Bean" said that her home has a small balcony, which is 3.5m long and 1.2m wide, which is about 4 square meters. It is a closed south balcony, but the lighting is very good, and the ventilation is also good after opening the windows. This is where she grows flowers!

Flower lovers who have a yard and a terrace can build a rose wall, but what about those who have a small balcony? Why not try a nasturtium waterfall to satisfy your craving?

Nasturtiums, planted in autumn, have bright red flowers. The nasturtium began to hang on the front side of the balcony. Its own creeping nature would cause it to grow longer and longer, which would in turn affect the flowers on the trellis. Therefore, it had to be positioned and placed on the inner trellis.

The inner flower stand receives average light, and only gets a little bit of sunlight when the sun sets. Many people say that nasturtium likes strong light. At first, I was worried that it would not bloom many flowers, but I didn’t expect to harvest a whole waterfall of flowers!

There are several layers of shelves built on the side of the small balcony, and what occupies half of it is naturally the geraniums that flower growers love!

The space on a small balcony is limited, and there are many varieties of geraniums that I want to plant. I have to make some choices and must choose those varieties that bloom frequently.

For upright varieties, you can choose Princess, Mountain Palace, Ice Orange, etc. Back up the seedlings in the summer and continue planting in the fall. Basically, it is easy to survive the summer. Add some base fertilizer when repotting in autumn, and the flowers will grow bigger!

There are many beautiful varieties during the blooming season, but because they need to be spring-hardened, many people who have balconies simply give up. If vernalization is not achieved on the balcony, the number of flowers that bloom will be significantly less. So it is better to plant candy cane, which does not require low-temperature spring warming and can bloom continuously, even in summer!

The Angel Family is also a good variety of geraniums. Basically, once you plant it, you will never want to eliminate it!

The rest of the small balcony is basically occupied by various small grass flowers that have bloomed into balls! Many people say that million bells are difficult to grow, but in fact the most difficult part is the roots! When the seedlings are young, you must take care of the roots and wait until the roots fill the pot before transplanting. After moving to a larger pot, start watering less frequently and don’t keep the soil in the pot moist all the time, otherwise the roots will easily become suffocated and suddenly wilt and die.

When I first received it, it was still a small seedling!

First transplant it into a 9cm two-color pot, and then transplant it when the roots grow stronger.

Wait until the roots of the million bells fill the small flowerpot, then you can plant them in pots!

After planting, remember to top the plants in time so that the seedlings can grow more side branches, so that they can bloom as soon as possible in spring!

In just a few months, a million little bells will be able to blow up the entire balcony!

The baby's breath planted in September has turned into a flower ball by late January and has begun to take over the entire balcony!

How do other people’s baby’s breath bloom into flower balls? "Deep Blue and Deep Purple Bean" said that she used seedling blocks, peat soil and perlite, and also mixed some slow-release fertilizer into the soil. At the beginning, she sowed the seeds in seedling blocks, placed them in scattered light before germination, and then exposed them to the sun after germination. Because of limited space, I didn't want to use a large pot, so I just planted it directly.

After transplanting, do not water the seedlings heavily from the beginning. There are few sunny days in winter and water is not easy to evaporate. It is better to keep the seeds dry than wet and do not suffocate the roots. During the growth period of baby's breath, topping is very important so that it can have more branches and more flowers. Generally, you should start topping when you see that the branches have more than 2 pairs of leaves, so that the branches will grow larger and larger.

From the seedling stage to the middle seedling stage, you need to top the plant continuously; but when densely packed small flower buds emerge, there is no need to top the plant anymore. It only takes 6 months for baby's breath to grow from a seed into a big flower ball!

In addition to baby's breath, you can also try six-fold profit when sowing in autumn. It is similar to baby's breath and it also takes 6 months to bloom into a full flower ball!

For sowing six times more profitable soil, you can choose peat + perlite. The base fertilizer can be fermented black chicken fertilizer, bone meal, etc. The water-soluble fertilizer used in the growth period can be something like Bi-Flower.

If you want the six times profit to have more flowers and bloom more, it is necessary to top them more often. Starting from the seedlings, they must be topped continuously to make the plant more compact.

Of course, choosing the right variety is also important. For example, Viera belongs to the upright series. It is basically not easy to grow loose, the plant shape is full, and it is especially easy to form flower balls!

Let’s talk about the more popular Margaret! This flower is easy to grow and blooms in large quantities, it is definitely worth planting a pot! This flower is good in every way except that it takes up too much space, which is a mixed blessing especially for people who live on balconies. Although it is not very noticeable during the seedling stage, once it blooms, one pot of flowers can almost take up the space of three pots of flowers!

The first thing you see is the yellow hydrangea. The bottom layer of petals of the yellow hydrangea is white, with clusters of fluffy yellow stamens piled on top. The plant is relatively compact and the flower stems are not long, so it is a variety worth preserving.

The flower stems of the pink double-petaled flowers are relatively long, but the color is very fairy, and it is a gradient color, from light pink to dark pink. It looks very beautiful when photographed at close range.

Of course, lemon yellow, double red, and red ma are all good choices!

Of course, the most beautiful one must be the candy margarita! This flower can burst into a ball even without topping, it is a must-have flower for lazy people on the balcony!

As for Oxalis, it is also a flower that can easily bloom out of the pot! Whether you place it directly on the windowsill or hang it on a shelf, the small balcony will immediately become beautiful!

The clematis was just planted this spring. In winter, the plant withered completely and I thought it was going to die. I didn't expect it to sprout and bloom in spring. I have to sigh at its strong vitality!

In addition to these, there are also pansies, violas, and various lilies, all in full bloom on the small balcony!

The balcony of "Deep Blue and Deep Purple Doudou"'s house has been there for 6 years.

According to her, as long as you are willing, even a small balcony of only a few square meters can bloom tens of thousands of flowers!
