There are so many flowers at the flower market, it seems like you want to take every one of them home, but the balcony is only so big, how should you choose? Don't just listen to the flower market owner's sales pitch that they're all easy to grow - with different light conditions, the flowers you grow will differ quite a lot. This beautiful spring, Bai Xiaomei'er wants to recommend 6 kinds of flowers and plants that are super suitable for growing on a home balcony - they look good, bring good luck, are easy to keep alive, and are especially practical.

Mint

Whether on the balcony, in the kitchen, or in the bathroom, you can put a pot of mint. In summer when the temperature is high, pick a few mint leaves and steep them in water for a cool, refreshing treat that relieves the summer heat. Mint gives off a light fragrance, and placing it in the bathroom can also absorb odors. It is a plant that can grow a whole bunch just from a cut stem stuck in soil, and the price is especially nice too. As long as it doesn't lack water, it will grow very well. One thing to note is that when the mint stems get too tall, remember to pinch off the tops to avoid leggy growth.

Aloe

Aloe has super strong propagation ability - just one small pot can quickly turn into a big pot, and it is very practical. In recent years, research has shown that aloe has a very powerful effect in absorbing formaldehyde. More importantly, when spring and summer come, there are lots of mosquitoes and bugs, and aloe juice can relieve itching - its effect against all kinds of mosquito bites is simply too good. The only thing to note is that in winter, aloe needs to be brought indoors for care, as it is afraid of the cold; in other seasons it is fine to leave it outdoors. It is practically a must-have green plant for the home.

Jasmine

A spring balcony is very suitable for placing a few pots of jasmine; its fragrance is fresh and pleasant. The jasmine flower buds can also be picked to make jasmine tea, and the opened jasmine flowers can be picked to make porridge - it has both practicality and good looks. When caring for jasmine, note that it likes plenty of light, and keep the potting soil moist. Those who like jasmine can also take its strong branches for cuttings; basically every cutting takes root, and it is very easy to propagate.

Money Tree

The money tree, which can attract wealth, has always been a favorite among home green plants. Whether at home or in a shop, a pot of money tree is indispensable. If you want to grow a money tree well without yellowing leaves, just pay attention to 2 points:

1. Keep the potting soil on the drier side; the money tree tends to rot its roots when there is too much water, so water thoroughly only after the soil has dried out.

2. Grow it in indirect light, and never expose it to harsh sun. In spring and summer, you can mist the leaves every day to increase air humidity, which can make the money tree grow more vigorously.

Rose

The rose, with its super high beauty, has always been deeply loved by flower enthusiasts. Although it is recognized as a "sickly beauty", its beauty absolutely cannot be ignored. Whether as a balcony potted plant or a garden ground-planted flower wall, it is indispensable - roses alone can fill your entire garden.

If you want to grow roses well, please be sure to pay attention to the following points:

1. Ventilation must be good, and light must be sufficient

2. Roses like fertilizer; with enough fertilizer, they bloom more and more brilliantly

3. Prune frequently, and don't be reluctant - there is gain in cutting. Timely prune spent flowers, dead branches, and weak branches, and thin out buds

4. Do a good job of pest and disease prevention, such as spring pest release, powdery mildew, black spot, and other diseases.

Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe, with its excellent symbolism and long flowering period, is likewise very popular. It also has a huge number of varieties and can easily fill a balcony. Kalanchoe is drought-tolerant and has a long flowering period - a typical lazy person's flower. Be sure to wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering, otherwise the roots and leaves easily rot. If you want kalanchoe to bloom more, during the bud stage, spray monopotassium phosphate once a week to encourage more and bigger blooms.

These are all fairly easy-to-keep varieties. Do you like them? Feel free to leave a message recommending and sharing more flowers that are even easier to grow, so we can all grow flowers well together!
