Gardening Ideas for your Balcony

July 14, 2016

Another important thing to remember when selecting balcony flowers are the pots in which you keep them. You can select the size and type of garden planters that best suit your balcony. Also make sure you use the proper manure and keep them fertilized. You can also match the color of the balcony flowers with the color of the paint on your balcony walls.

Hydrangeas - If you grow them in containers we can enjoy them throughout the peninsula, provided that we locate in a shady place and protected from the sun, on the terrace or balcony.

Bromeliad - Bromeliads are very elegant flowers with a fantastic display. They are very easy to grow. The distinctive feature of this plant is the cup shaped rosette of leaves that hold water, which nourishes the plant and the flowers emerge from the center.

Petunias - The petunias need abundant and daily watering during flowering, especially in spring and summer. It is important not to wet when watering flowers and avoid doing during the sunniest hours. At the time of flowering is also necessary to fertilize every 15 days with a fertilizer rich in phosphorus.

Roses - Roses are always exotic and one of the best flowers for balcony. They have a variety of colors and can grow even in small pots. If you keep them fertilized well, they will come out with all their beauty. Roses have a wide range from very small sizes to very large ones. Select the color and variety that you like. If you're seeking extra-large decorative garden pots to place the full size varieties in you'll love our new Talavera planters which are 15" x 17" and handmade in Mexico.

Herbs - There are many types of herbs and culinary plants, and therefore can make different compositions with them. Talavera Wall Planters are a splendid way to grow and enjoy fresh herbs – just hang them outside, near your kitchen door.
