Climbing roses

Growing roses on a balcony is a bit harder than in a small yard, mainly because of problems with light and ventilation, but if your light and ventilation are decent and your skills aren't too bad either, roses on a balcony can still be stunningly beautiful!

When growing roses on a balcony, besides considering the balcony's lighting and ventilation, you also need to pay attention to the load-bearing issue. It's recommended to choose some lighter growing media, and if the balcony itself isn't very big, it's not advisable to plant too densely.

When growing roses on a balcony, the most important thing is ventilation. If ventilation is insufficient, especially when it's very hot and stuffy, you can consider using an electric fan to blow some air. You can extend the rose branches out the window, which gives them a bit more space. Balcony light should be at least half a day of sunlight, otherwise there will be few flowers, and the blooms will be few as well.

Clematis

Clematis is very beautiful, blooming like a lotus when it flowers, and it has the reputation of being the queen of climbing flowers.

Clematis requires well-drained soil, and unlike most flowers, clematis likes slightly alkaline soil.

When caring for it on a balcony, make sure there is good ventilation, which will reduce many pest and disease problems. Clematis needs more than 6 hours of direct sunlight per day; if there is too little light, it's bad for flowering.

Hoya

The hoya has a very cute shape, is especially beautiful, and also has a fascinating delicate fragrance. Keeping one at home can make the environment fresh and elegant.

Unlike most flowers that bloom profusely, hoya likes a warm, semi-shady environment and prefers higher humidity, so it can be grown on a north balcony. If your balcony doesn't get enough sunshine, you can consider hoya, as 3-4 hours of light per day is enough.

Banksia rose

Generally in late spring and early summer, Banksia roses bloom. Banksia rose flowers are white or cream-yellow, with a rich fragrance, and when half-open they can be picked to scent tea. In some places, Banksia rose sugar cakes are also made.

Banksia rose is highly adaptable; after planting it for two or three years it will bloom, and it can also extend about 5-6 m, so planted on a balcony it turns into a sea of flowers!

When growing it, it's better to use a somewhat larger pot.

A balcony can also grow into a sea of flowers!

If for now you don't have a yard

then build up your balcony!

See you next time!
