What flowers are pretty and easy to grow on a balcony? These 4 fill the whole home with fragrance when the window is open

In spring and summer, as temperatures rise, all kinds of bacteria also breed. If the air does not circulate, it is easy to get odors in the house. Today I will share a few especially fragrant flowers. Plant them on the balcony, and the home will smell wonderful, and you will no longer smell cooking fumes or bathroom odors!

Jasmine

Spring is the season for jasmine. Its elegant, delicate fragrance can last from spring all the way to autumn, so it has a very long blooming period. Flower lovers who are allergic to strong fragrances might as well plant a pot of jasmine on the balcony. It is fresh and charming, and the flowers can even be picked to steep in water, making it very practical.

Jasmine care tips: It likes a humid environment with plenty of light. In the high heat of summer, water once every 2 days, and spray water on the leaves every day to increase air humidity. After autumn begins, just keep the potting soil slightly moist.

Orbea variegata (starfish flower)

Flower lovers who like succulents should not miss Orbea variegata. It is one of the few succulent varieties whose flowers carry a fragrance, with a full, fresh scent. Although the flowers are not brightly colored, the scent is definitely very easy to like.

Orbea variegata care tips: It likes light. Water thoroughly only after the soil has dried out. Succulents all need loose, breathable soil for planting. In summer, pay attention to shading to avoid excessively high temperatures causing rot.

Gardenia

Gardenia, like jasmine, has a relatively fresh and elegant fragrance. Placed on the balcony, it is also very beautiful, with a long blooming period and easy care. "Easy to keep alive and fond of filling the pot" describes exactly this plant.

Gardenia care tips: It likes light and a humid, acidic soil environment. Spring is its vigorous growth period, and the potting soil must not lack water. After summer arrives, spray water on the leaves every day to maintain air humidity. To avoid yellow leaves, you can add a little vinegar to the water every half month when watering, which can effectively prevent gardenia yellow leaves.

Rose (Chinese rose)

Roses have many varieties and many fragrance types, including strong-fragrance and light-fragrance types. Choose the variety you like according to your own preference. The colorful flowers easily cover the balcony in bloom.

Rose care tips: It likes light and fertilizer, and ventilation must be good. If it is an enclosed balcony, it is not recommended for planting. In spring, focus on preventing various pests and diseases. It is recommended to spray carbendazim once every half month. Now is exactly the rose bud stage. Top-dress once a month to make the flowers bloom more, larger, and more brilliantly.

Finally, a reminder to all flower-loving gardeners: any fragrant flowers are not recommended for the bedroom. It is best to place them on the balcony or another well-ventilated spot, to avoid affecting sleep and also to let the flowers bloom better and receive plenty of sunlight.
