Create a stunning garden

Before the tutorial, a little warning: the photo below is the indoor garden of the exemplary flower enthusiast "Deep Blue Deep Purple Bean", and it is gorgeous!

Widen the bay window (balcony) windowsill area

Widen the windowsill surface a bit, and you can fit more flowers, while also getting more light exposure.

Widening the windowsill area has another benefit: you can sit on the windowsill and read like Duoduo does, so artsy!

Install flower racks on the side of the windowsill

On east-, west-, and south-facing balconies, the side walls sometimes also get good light. In that case, you can install some flower racks to grow plants, or install wooden boards and cabinets to store miscellaneous items.

Some flower pots are designed with a built-in side-hanging fixing function, which is really great.

Build a small flower bed indoors

If you want a garden with the effect of a flower bed, you can skip the windowsill and directly make a small flower bed. You can use cement, bricks, or a wooden box, and the effect is great either way!

Make use of the partition between the balcony and the living room

If you have a south-facing balcony and have installed a partition between the balcony and the living room, then the wall of the partition will receive relatively ample light. You can fix some wooden boards on the wall and grow some climbing plants, like in the picture below!

Hang plants up with a clothes rack

A balcony clothes-drying rack can do more than dry clothes; it can also hang plants. Petunias, spider plants, lobelia, ivy geraniums, Graptopetalum 'Purple Pearl', Graptopetalum paraguayense... hanging them up looks absolutely beautiful!

Growing flowering herbaceous plants on a bay window is brilliant and colorful

If your enclosed balcony, bay window, or windowsill faces south, or is an east- or west-facing balcony with long sunlight hours and good ventilation, then most flowering plants can be grown. Right now there are many herbaceous flowers you can plant, such as: baby's breath, cosmos, petunia, corn poppy, sweet alyssum, and many more!

Growing succulents on a bay window is adorable

Succulents have a very high demand for light, and once the light is insufficient, they will etiolate on you. As a bay-window grower, do you go to great lengths for that little bit of sunlight? If you haven't found a good solution yet, take a look at the creativity of the flower enthusiast below!

For these adorable succulents, we succulent slaves really go all out! But the results are touching. If you don't believe it, take a look!

Grow greenery to purify the air

Growing more foliage plants indoors is very beneficial, especially for people living in cities. And green plants are easier to care for; as long as you don't just wash your hands of them, they will stay lush and green!

Growing vegetables saves money and is healthy

Growing vegetables on the balcony has been a big trend in recent years. Grow a few pots at home: no additives, no pollution, healthy and money-saving, and the key point is that they are easy to care for, only needing a little sunlight.

Creative flower vessels raise the style level

Besides growing flowers and vegetables well, beautiful pots and vessels can also add color to our balcony!

Growing flowers on top of the cabinet and storing things below the cabinet, what a great design!

That's the end of the introduction. Have you been inspired?

Dear readers, remember! No difficulty can stop our hearts from growing flowers, and no setback can extinguish our longing for a garden. Bay-window growers, windowsill growers, enclosed-balcony growers, hurry up and let your little universe burst forth!
