What exactly is an apartment garden? As you might have already guessed, this is basically a type of balcony which features flowering plants and plant growth which are usually on the lower level, near the balcony railing. Lovely flowers like marigolds, flowering plants like orchids, potted herbs and even some under-the-verandah green grass can all appear prominently as prominent features of an apartment garden. However, there are some things that you will need to remember if you are going apartment gardening.

The first thing is that you will have to get a good drainage system. This is very important, since potted plants growing against the balcony railing will tend to dry out quicker than those growing in pots. You must ensure that there is also proper ventilation on the lower level. This will help keep the water out and the pests away. In addition, a lot of pests live below the eaves, so you will want to make sure that there are adequate precautions taken to control these pesky intruders.

Of course, the most popular balcony garden plants are those which flower in full sunshine and are relatively easy to take care of. There are many lovely flowers to choose from, including varieties grown primarily for their flowers alone, or in combination with potted plants. These include marigolds with a white, pink or red zest, pansies with yellow bell, tulips with purple, hyacinths with cream, and sweet peas with gold. All these flowers can be found at garden centres, or alternatively you could order online and have them delivered to your door. They are not only highly attractive, but they are also low maintenance and therefore ideal for apartment gardening.

If you are a novice at gardening, then it may be a good idea to start off with plants that do not need much attention. These include taller plants such as clematis, which will provide shade and beauty for the balcony garden plants. However, if you wish to grow taller plants, then you have a whole range of options open to you, including vines. Vines are a good idea for balcony gardens as they can provide privacy, attract birds, add to the overall ambiance of the garden, and even offer food. Vines such as French clover, Rosemary, and rue are all easy to grow, and are good for providing shade in summer. Meanwhile, fruit trees such as strawberries and plums add something special to any garden – even the fruit themselves!

It is important to take care of balcony garden plants and flowers properly, as though they are extremely pretty, they can also become a nuisance if they are overgrown. Make sure that you don’t allow plants to spread too far apart, or crowd the space between them. Also remember that although flowers look great when you’re planting them, their flowers will tend to fade if they aren’t kept in good condition. Take care to water the plants well and feed them regularly, and your flowers should bloom beautifully for many years.

Although flowering plants are a good idea for balcony garden plants, there is one big exception – roses. If you want to grow a spectacular display of colour in your garden, then you must grow your flowering plants from seeds. This is because the flowering plants will not flower until they germinate, so you won’t get anything unless you plant them properly. Germination testing kits can be purchased for this purpose and are widely available on the market. If you’re planning on planting three or four types of flowering plants, then a germination testing kit is probably unnecessary, but it may be worth your while to purchase one anyway.

For many people, the most popular balcony garden plants are flowers, as they bring a sense of colour and brightness to a garden space. However, it’s important to remember that flowers are very fragile and need constant attention and care in order to grow properly. They also have a tendency to take over a large area of garden space, so you may need to plan your garden in a way that allows you room to grow a few flower plants without having to overcrowd your garden space. If you do overcrowd your garden space, then there are several plants that can help to keep the grass under control, which can be an issue if you have a larger garden space than grass area. Fertiliser is another plant that tends to take up a lot of space, so if you really want to enjoy a flower garden on your balcony, then consider using something other than soil, such as vermiculite or gravel.

In summary, balcony gardening can be a beautiful and rewarding hobby. Remember that you will have to put some time and effort into deciding which balcony garden plants are going to work best with your climate, as well as choosing a plan that allows you the room to grow your collection without the need for an overly spacious outdoor space. When it comes to balcony gardening, prevention is usually the best defence against unwanted balcony garden pests. You should try to choose plants and accessories that do not attract or need to be kept outside, as this will make your balcony garden safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
