A six-square-meter balcony is enough to grow flowers, vegetables, and fruit, easily creating a lovely little world of your own

For people who love growing flowers and vegetables, even if there is only a small balcony at home, even if it is only a few square meters, after setting aside the space for the washing machine and hanging laundry, although there is not much space left, you can still grow flowers and vegetables. With a bit of arranging and tending, you can still place some flower pots to grow a few things and fulfill your dream of country life. So how exactly should a small balcony be arranged and set up?

A six-square-meter small balcony can also be used to grow flowers, vegetables, and fruit, easily creating a beautiful little world!

Considering the issue of space, when planting, do not use flower pots that are too large, and do not grow overly large potted plants. Also, the flower pots can be hung up, suspended from the railing or the wall as much as possible. This saves space and adds beauty.

As for the soil, because growing flowers on a balcony requires taking the load-bearing issue into account, the potting soil is best a lightweight, fertile peat soil or leaf mold.

Then, in order to grow more beautiful flowers, choose potted plants that bloom a lot and bloom frequently, such as kalanchoe, morning glory, moss rose, bougainvillea, and so on, rather than choosing foliage plants.

So for growing vegetables on a balcony, we need to grow some potted vegetables that are commonly eaten and grow quickly and can be sown directly, such as lettuce, small greens, Chinese chives, scallions, tomatoes, and so on.

Most of them can be grown all year round, with no time restrictions, and are especially easy to care for. Moreover, Chinese chives, tomatoes, and lettuce can often be eaten and harvested.

For growing potted fruit, considering the limited space, large plants are out of the question. But small potted fruit plants like figs and blueberries are very easy to grow, and basically they can bear fruit one year after planting. Arranging a balcony this way means you can grow flowers, vegetables, and even a bit of fruit. Xiaoya thinks this is just perfect, and many flower lovers do exactly this!
