Spring has arrived. The balcony is the "eye" of your home for external communication. If it can be decorated with plant materials, it will beautify and green many buildings in the city. Through the green balcony, people can not only enjoy the beautiful urban scenery, but also appreciate the warmth of nature.

Balcony decoration principles

Different balcony types and different plant materials can create different styles of scenery. For example, in order to highlight the decorative effect and form a sharp color contrast, warm-toned plants and flowers can be used to decorate a cold-toned balcony, or conversely, make the balcony flowers more vivid and eye-catching. Balconies with good sunlight should be decorated with light-loving plants that are compatible with flowers and leaves, while balconies with poor sunlight should be decorated with plants that tolerate shade and like coolness.

Balcony beautification methods

Balcony beautification methods include common flower box style, hanging style, flower pile style, etc. Flower box-style flower boxes are generally rectangular, which saves balcony area and space when placed or hung. Put the cultivated potted flowers into the flower box, and hang the flower box on the outside of the balcony with a hook or place it flat on the edge of the balcony guardrail wall. Use the bottom surface of the upper balcony to hang flowers that can grow. This method is a hanging style, which is an excellent three-dimensional decoration. The flower pile style is a method commonly used by ordinary people, which is to arrange various potted flowers in order of size and place them inside the balcony or on the guardrail wall of the balcony.

The choice of plants and flowers for balcony decoration depends on the layout and the types of plants to be selected. Generally speaking, when using the flower box type, you can choose some drought-tolerant flowers that like sun, have many branches, have abundant flowers, and have a long flowering period, such as geraniums, chrysanthemums, dahlias, periwinkles, etc. If you use hanging type, you can choose weeping pot grass, small-leaf ivy, nasturtium, etc. There are many types of plants that can be used to beautify the balcony in a flower pile style arrangement, but attention should be paid to clear layers and a unified style. The types should not be too many and too complex. Chrysanthemums, roses, cyclamen, asparagus, color grass, etc. can be used.
