How to plant flowers on a sealed balcony

Nowadays, many flower lovers use their own balconies to grow flowers, and closing the balconies to grow flowers has gradually become a way of life for flower lovers, so the small garden at home has entered life.

After buying a new house, most people in China seem to like to seal the balcony with plastic steel and glass. Then how can we get close to nature and create a natural atmosphere? It is a good choice to raise flowers on the closed balcony.

Although it is not a challenge for flower lovers to plant flowers on a closed balcony, not all flowers and plants are suitable for a closed balcony, so choose the right flowers and plants to avoid raising the wrong flowers on the closed balcony.

What kind of flowers are suitable for planting in a closed balcony?

The flower that is not conducive to maintenance by closing the balcony is the rose first. Because there is no rain and dew on the closed balcony, Chinese roses are prone to red spiders, and Chinese roses can't hibernate, so friends who plan to grow flowers on the closed balcony should be calm in the face of Chinese roses. Of course, it is not impossible to raise Chinese roses, but it is relatively unsuitable.

According to the practical experience of flower lovers, the enclosed balcony is suitable for the maintenance of some annual herbaceous flowers, such as short-legged cattle, and also suitable for the maintenance of some succulents. Of course, some small foliage plants are also possible, but attention should be paid to shading and ventilation in summer.

In addition, due to the poor ventilation of the closed balcony, it must be noted that if you are allergic to flowers, some flowers and plants with rich flowering fragrance should also be in moderation.

In short, there is little pressure to plant flowers on the closed balcony, but we must be cautious about some plants that love insects and love illness. You can grow other flowers and plants. Although there may be some gaps in the number of flowers compared with the open balcony, it does not affect the experience of planting flowers on the whole.
