Growing flowers also depends on your home environment, otherwise the moment you buy them is a tragedy

Autumn is here! It's flower-buying season again, and Huahua wants to remind everyone not to buy just any flower for your home, especially for those flower lovers without a south-facing balcony. You must make sure which flower suits which environment, otherwise the moment you buy it, a tragic ending is already sealed!

South-facing balcony: enjoy flowers and grow vegetables

Flower lovers with a south-facing balcony, you are the ones to be envied! Full-day sunlight and abundant sunshine make it especially suitable for growing sun-loving plants.

1. Jasmine

Not sure if you've ever heard the saying, "jasmine that can't be killed by sun," which shows jasmine loves basking in the sun, and only a south-facing balcony can meet its needs.

2. Bougainvillea

Flower lovers who adore growing bougainvillea have given it an affectionate nickname, "Little San," but did you know that Little San also needs long hours of light to grow and bloom normally?

3. Aglaia odorata (mock lime)

Many flower lovers told Huahua that their Aglaia odorata bloomed but just wasn't fragrant, and that's because there wasn't enough light. It also loves a sunny environment.

There are also Chinese roses, geraniums, clematis, and so on, all plants very suitable for a south-facing balcony, and growing vegetables is also a good choice. Southeast- and southwest-facing balconies can also refer to this.

North-facing balcony: go for foliage plants!

For a north-facing balcony, the sunlight conditions can be described as terribly poor, mainly indirect light, with only a tiny bit of sunlight in summer, so try to choose shade-loving, shade-tolerant plants!

1. Pothos, spider plant

The most common household potted plants, their shade tolerance is among the strongest, and the bright indirect light of a north-facing balcony is enough for their growth!

2. Monstera

One of the most popular foliage potted plants for the home, it likes indirect light, so it can also be grown on a north-facing balcony.

3. Boston fern

Actually, most fern potted plants can be grown on a north-facing balcony. Boston fern, for example, likes bright indirect light, and you just need to give it a humid environment.

There are also caladium, inch plant, ivy, and so on, all plants very suitable for a north-facing balcony, and northeast- and northwest-facing balconies can also refer to this.

East-facing balcony: second only to south-facing

An east-facing balcony is a partial-sun environment, with good morning sunlight and no direct light after noon, making it more suitable for growing sun-loving, slightly shade-tolerant plants.

1. Kalanchoe

Grow a pot of kalanchoe: abundant blooms, a long flowering period, loves light yet is slightly shade-tolerant, and an east-facing balcony environment is just right.

2. Plumbago

Lately, more and more flower lovers are growing plumbago, and Huahua also really loves the color of its blooms!

3. Camellia

Camellia loves light but fears direct harsh sun. The warm, soft morning light of an east-facing balcony makes it an absolutely perfect match for camellia.

There are also azaleas, nasturtium, fuchsia, and so on, all plants very suitable for an east-facing balcony.

West-facing balcony: harsh and scorching

You need to be careful when growing flowers on a west-facing balcony. There's a term for it: western exposure. No sunlight in the morning, then 3 to 4 hours of intense sunlight in the afternoon, simply harsh and scorching, so you can grow sun-loving, drought-loving plants.

1. Cypress vine

Cypress vine loves a sunny environment. Plant a pot on a west-facing balcony and let it climb upward; when its foliage is full, it can also block the overly strong afternoon sunlight in summer.

2. Periwinkle

It likes moisture and is slightly drought-tolerant. Prune it regularly during care and control it so it doesn't keep growing taller, and a big flower ball will be just around the corner.

3. Morning glory

It likes a well-lit environment, and choosing a suitable variety is also a good option!

There are also pomegranate, honeysuckle, ixora, and so on,

all plants very suitable for a west-facing balcony.
