How to grow succulents on an indoor enclosed balcony? Care tips to share
Many succulent lovers want to grow succulents on their own enclosed balconies, because the growing conditions on a balcony are very good: compared with other locations, there is much more sunlight and much better light exposure, and it can also decorate the balcony and serve as an ornamental touch. So how should succulents be grown on an enclosed balcony? Let Shuaishuai tell everyone below!
1. Growing succulents on an enclosed balcony still follows their own growing environment and basic conditions, including sunlight, water, temperature, humidity, air circulation and fertilizing, and so on.
2. Generally in winter, the outdoor temperature may drop below zero, so the closer to the balcony glass window, the colder it will be. To prevent freezing, try to place the succulents more toward the indoor side when positioning them, a little farther from the glass window, but not too far. Everyone should make sure they can be reached by the winter sunlight. If you have a bay window, you can move the flower pots inward a bit, and then move them outward again once the sun comes out.
3. Whenever you have free time at home, move the succulents around a bit. Do not always keep them in the same place. Usually observe more the direction of sunlight and changes in intensity. If you feel the light intensity here has become lower and the direction of the light has shifted, we should move them to a place with ample sunlight. In addition, anyone who has grown succulents knows that their leaves grow toward the sunny side, so grasping this detail can be a plus for their growth.
4. Some enclosed balconies are not even connected to the interior, and balconies of the kind that are seldom opened have very poor air, and air circulation is very poor, so we should usually open the windows for a period of time to let in air and create air convection. This can also reduce the breeding of bacteria and the occurrence of diseases. You can also put the succulents in a corridor or on a rooftop for a few days, letting them improve their air conditions before putting them back in their original place.
5. Besides the above, the last thing to pay attention to is the prevention and control of succulent pests and diseases. If the air on an enclosed balcony does not circulate, it is most likely to breed bacteria and diseases. Also, during the moldy rainy weather in summer, pay more attention to spraying insecticide to prevent insects and microorganisms from growing in the soil and to ensure the health of the soil.
