Can’t grow flowers on a closed balcony? Nonsense, growing these is more beautiful than an open-air garden!

Closed south balcony

The enclosed south balcony has at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. Although the glass blocks some ultraviolet rays, it is generally a good place to grow flowers. You can plant some light-loving flowering flowers, as well as succulents, colorful flowers and fruit potted plants.

Recommended flower 1: Petunia

Start pinching the seeds when they are young seedlings, and hang them up for better light, and apply fish water once a week.

Recommended flower 2: Geranium

It is relatively easy to grow. Just don't water it unless the soil is dry. You can prune it heavily in autumn to control the plant shape and promote the germination of side buds.

Recommended flower 3: Margaret

Start pinching and topping the seedlings from the seedling stage, pinch off two and leave four, rotate the pots once a week, and apply compound fertilizer once a week.

Recommended flower 4: Hibiscus

If you want more flowers, you need to fertilize more, apply water-soluble compound fertilizer 1-2 times a month. More pruning promotes the germination of side buds.

Recommended flower 5: Blue snow flower

Water frequently during the growing season in spring and summer to keep the soil moist. Control water levels in autumn and winter and do not water unless the soil is dry. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight in summer.

Recommended flower 6: Nasturtium

It is sown using seeds. It has low requirements for soil and likes water. Keep the soil in the pot slightly moist and control the water when brought indoors in winter.

Recommended flowers 7: Succulent

It is drought-tolerant but not water-tolerant. Water it once a week in spring and autumn, and 1-2 times a month in summer and winter. The soil should have more particles.

Recommended flower 8: Alum root

Try to let it get more sun, water it only when the soil is dry, and apply some nitrogen fertilizer regularly.

Recommended flower 9: Net-grass

It is not cold-resistant. Move it indoors in winter. Do not water it too dry or too wet. Just keep the surface of the pot slightly moist.

Recommended flower 10: Fig

It is drought-resistant. Water it only when the soil in the pot is dry. If you want more fruits, you can apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Enclosed east balcony

The enclosed east balcony will have about 4 hours of sunlight in the morning, which is suitable for planting some short-day flowers and green plants.

Recommended flower 1: Hydrangea

Keep the potting soil moist in spring, summer and autumn, especially avoid water shortage in summer, and keep the potting soil slightly dry in winter.

Recommended flower 2: Kalanchoe

Pinch and top the plants more often during the growing season to achieve more flowers. Spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves during the bud formation period in autumn to achieve more flowers.

Recommended flower 3: Cyclamen

It likes water. If you see the flowers or leaves starting to droop and wilt, water them thoroughly immediately. Don't water the leaves.

Recommended flower 4: Azalea

If you are afraid of waterlogging, water the pot when you see the soil turning white. The soil should be loose, and you can mix garden soil with pine needle soil.

Recommended flower 5: Pansy

Sow in spring in the north and in autumn in the south. After the seeds germinate, gradually expose them to light and apply nitrogen fertilizer. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before bud formation.

Recommended flower 6: Hoya

It is drought-tolerant, shade-tolerant and easy to grow. It only needs to be watered once every 1-2 weeks and the leaves should be sprayed with water more often.

Recommended flower 7: Fortune tree

It is better to be dry than wet. Most money trees are killed by watering. Water only when the soil surface is 3 cm dry, and put some expanded clay at the bottom of the pot.

Recommended flower 8: Clivia

It likes a diffuse light environment, and will not be watered unless the soil in the pot is dry. It likes fertilizer and can be watered once every two weeks with rice water or compound liquid fertilizer.

Enclosed West Balcony

The west balcony, like the east balcony, can only receive sunlight for about 4 hours in the afternoon, and can only grow some short-day flowering flowers and some green plants.

Recommended flower 1: Christmas cactus

It is drought-resistant. Do not water it unless the soil in the pot is dry. During the bud formation period in autumn, you can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves. Do not move it frequently after flowering.

Recommended flower 2: Begonia

Do not water the plant unless the soil in the pot is dry. Fertilizer should be applied during the long flowering period. Apply water-soluble compound fertilizer once every 1-2 weeks.

Recommended flower 3: Impatiens

Use peat soil mixed with perlite seeds and add some chicken manure as base fertilizer. It doesn't like heavy water, so water it only when the soil is dry.

Recommended flower 4: Gloxinia

The temperature should not be lower than 5 degrees, keep the soil slightly moist, and avoid water accumulation. Pinch the tops more often during the growing season.

Recommended flower 5: Chlorophytum comosum

Just water it once a week, once every two weeks in winter, and sprinkle a few grains of compound fertilizer in the water or on the surface of the pot every month.

Recommended flower 6: White Anthurium

Avoid direct sunlight and keep the soil moist. It is generally easier to grow in hydroponics.

Recommended flower 7: Tiger Piranha

It is drought-resistant. Don't water it too much. Water it only when the soil is dry and cracks appear. Add more sand to the soil.

Recommended flower 8: Pothos

If you place the green radish on the west balcony and keep it exposed to a certain amount of sunlight, it will grow faster and you should water it 1-2 times a week.

Enclosed North Balcony

The north balcony has basically no direct light, only a small amount of scattered light, so it is basically not suitable for growing flowering flowers, but it is very suitable for the growth of some shade-tolerant green plants.

Recommended flower 1: Monstera

It likes moisture, so water it 1-2 times a week in spring, summer and autumn, and once every 2 weeks in winter.

Recommended flower 5: Peperomia

It likes moisture but cannot be watered too much. Water it when the pot feels very light.

Recommended flower 6: Rubber tree

It is drought and shade tolerant. Water it when the soil surface is about 3 cm dry. Top it frequently to promote the germination of side buds.
