Do you know the 6 major precautions for raising flowers on the balcony?

1 Moisture and humidity management.

Due to the good ventilation of the balcony, it is difficult for rainwater to enter when it rains, and it is difficult for flowers to get natural rainwater, and the air is dry, so watering is the key. Be mindful of frequent watering and spraying of water on the foliage and ground. The flower pot should be large, because there is more soil and more water, it is not easy to dry, or put the flower pot into a shallow water pot, and the water can be continuously supplied to the flower needs due to capillary appointment.

You can also put a pot of water around the potted flowers to make it evaporate naturally and improve the local microclimate. The potted plants placed on the balcony should pay attention to the appropriate density and be slightly denser, because more potted flowers evaporate water together to increase the humidity of the surrounding air.

2. Light management.

The orientation of the balcony is very important, not all balconies will have good direct sunlight coming in. Sufficient sunlight is conducive to the photosynthesis of flowers, but some flowers and plants should not be exposed to the sun, so they can be placed behind larger sun-loving flowers, or moved to a shaded place and indoors. When the light is too strong, wet grass, moss, etc. can be added to the surface of the potting soil to protect the fibrous roots on the surface of the potting soil.

In summer, a shade net is built to prevent sun exposure.

3. Temperature management.

The balcony is generally the cement floor and wall, when the sun shines, due to the reflection of the cement, the temperature rises, especially the west-facing balcony, in the afternoon, the balcony is full of sunlight, the temperature rises significantly, this radiation is not conducive to growth, therefore, water can be sprinkled on the balcony, when the water evaporates can bring away a part of the heat.

4. Fertilization management.

It is difficult to master the fertilization of balcony flowers, if you do not apply organic fertilizer, only apply chemical fertilizer, the amount of application is not accurate. Because the pot is small, it is easy to overdo it once it is fertilized, causing the flower to die. Therefore, the fertilization of balcony flowers should generally be based on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium comprehensive fertilizers that contain a variety of nutrients and are suitable for the growth of various flowers, and it is advisable to use some fermented base fertilizers.
