How to grow succulents on an enclosed indoor balcony

Many succulent enthusiasts want to grow succulents on their own enclosed balcony, because the growing conditions on a balcony are very good: compared with other spots, 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 do you grow succulents on an enclosed balcony? Let Shuashuai explain it to you below!

1. Growing succulents on an enclosed balcony still follows their own growing environment and basic conditions: sunlight, water, temperature, humidity, air circulation, 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 gets. To prevent freezing, try to place the succulents more toward the indoor side when positioning them, a bit farther from the glass window, but not too far - you must make sure they can still be reached by the winter sunlight. If you have a bay window, you can move the pots inward a bit, then move them back out once the sun comes out.

3. Whenever you have time at home, move the succulents around a bit; do not always keep them in the same place. Usually observe more the direction the sunlight travels and changes in its intensity. When you feel the light intensity here has become lower and the direction of the light has shifted, we should move them to a spot with plenty of sunlight. Also, anyone who has grown succulents knows their leaves grow toward the side facing the sun, so paying attention to this detail can give their growth a boost.

4. Some enclosed balconies are not even connected to the interior, and balconies that are rarely opened have very poor air, with terrible ventilation, so we should usually open the windows for a while to air things out and let the air circulate. This can also reduce the breeding of bacteria and the occurrence of diseases. You can also put the succulents in a hallway or on the rooftop for a few days to let their air conditions improve before putting them back in place.

5. Besides the above, the last thing to pay attention to is pest and disease control for succulents. If an enclosed balcony has poor air circulation, it is the easiest place for bacteria and diseases to breed. 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 keep the soil healthy.
