How to Greenify a Small Balcony
Looking for ways to add more life to your balcony? No matter how small of an outdoor space you have, your balcony is the perfect canvas to create a real wow factor outside! Scroll down to discover unique ways to style your outdoor greens for spring!
Inspired? Here are some simple tips to get you started.
Choose plants that suit your lifestyle. If you’re manually watering your plants, consider how often you’re prepared to go outside to feed them. Don’t put out more plants than you will happily water!
If you’re grouping plants together, place them in odd numbers like 3’s, 5’s, etc., for a balanced look. Tiered plants of different heights also look better than plants that are all the same height - bring on the variation! (If your plants are all the same height you can create that difference with plant stands.)
Select your pots carefully accrording to the vibe that you want to create - the pots that you place your plants in contribute as much style to a room as the plants themselves!
If you don’t have a lot of floor space, think of using wall space and hanging containers like lush living walls, vertical planters, railing planters, hanging planters, and even trellises.
And finally, if you have a beautifully styled balcony but not so beautiful surroundings, a trellis wrapped with creeping vines is a great solution to block off a bad view!
