Plant any of these 6 kinds of flowers and within a month, your north balcony will become a million-dollar garden!

Ou Yue

Who says roses can only be grown outdoors or on south balconies? Our North Balcony refuses to give up, and we must get a dozen of these beautiful roses!

1. Choose the right variety

There are many varieties of European roses, and there are also varieties that are more shade-tolerant and bloom frequently. The northern balcony is generally diffuse light and backlight light source, so there are many varieties to choose from:

In addition to the more common ones mentioned above, there are also big landlords, Monaco princesses, purple elves, beautiful parks, Misaki, red dragons, Tess, double ballet, canaries, golden celebrations, summer songs... You can definitely choose what you want

2. Keep at least 2 hours of light

To bloom, there must be light, but it doesn't mean it must be in full sun. It's OK if there is a light source on our north balcony, so let's use it.

Hydrangea

Of course, hydrangeas cannot be left out. Fortunately, they like shade and are suitable for planting on the north balcony in summer.

1. Keep ventilation and avoid moisture

Because the north balcony has little sunlight, it is easy to get damp and accumulate moisture. If the flowers are too humid, they will easily get sick and their roots will rot. We can plant hydrangeas on the windowsill and open the windows frequently for ventilation.

2. Water appropriately to avoid root rot

Huahua said before that hydrangeas need plenty of water when they bloom, but flower lovers on the north balcony should pay special attention to watering in moderation. Water only when you see the soil in the pot turn white and dry. Don't water too thoroughly (the water outlet of the flower pot should not overflow).

Succulent

Most flower lovers are afraid to grow succulents on the north balcony, thinking that they are prone to leggy growth and disease. In fact, there is no need to be afraid, as long as you pay attention to the following points:

1. Ensure necessary lighting

Although succulents cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, light is still essential. Except in hot weather, more than 2 hours of light must be guaranteed every day.

2. Maintain ventilation and control watering

The north balcony dissipates moisture slowly, so ventilation is necessary to remove moisture. Flower lovers with windows can open them frequently for ventilation. When watering, make sure the soil is dry before watering, and don't let water accumulate to prevent the roots from rotting.

Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe is a short-day flower, so you can grow it on the north balcony without worry.

1. Winter insulation

Kalanchoe is not only intolerant to high temperatures, but also afraid of cold. In winter, the temperature is low and there is little sun on the north balcony. You can put a plastic bag on it to simulate a greenhouse.

2. Water appropriately and avoid rain

Kalanchoe is a succulent flower and is afraid of waterlogging, so you need to be careful when watering it. Generally, it only needs to be watered once every 5-7 days. When it rains, be careful not to get wet and keep the environment ventilated and dry.

Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis can be grown not only on the north balcony, but also indoors, so flower lovers who have a north balcony at home should not be afraid.

1. Pay attention to heat preservation

Phalaenopsis, which likes shade, cannot tolerate low temperatures. If the temperature is below 10 degrees, you should consider keeping warm, especially at night. If you don’t have heating at home, you can put plastic bags on them to keep warm.

2. Pay attention to heat preservation

Phalaenopsis likes moisture, so when watering, the soil should be kept dry to prevent moisture accumulation and root rot. Use a watering can to spray water every 2-3 days to maintain the humidity of the air.

Begonia

Begonia is a popular flower with many flowers and bright colors. How can the north balcony be without it?

1. Pay attention to watering and avoid moisture accumulation

Begonia likes to drink water but is afraid of waterlogging. It should be watered once every 3-5 days during the seedling stage. It needs more water when it blooms, so watering once every 2-3 days is enough. It can also be placed in a higher place for better ventilation.

2. Pinching and topping after flowering

Begonias bloom a lot. To ensure the quality of flowering and maintain the plant shape, you can prune them after flowering, cut the long branches short, and keep 3-4 buds. This way you can grow a spherical begonia.

Flower lovers

Even if there is only a north balcony, it's okay.

As long as you choose the right flowers and use the right method

Anywhere can become the garden of your dreams
