At present, the balconies of residential buildings in residential areas in China basically have two types: convex and concave. Due to the different structure and orientation of the balcony, the degree of light received is also different. Only one side of the balcony receives light, less light, and the ventilation is not good, so it is better to protrude from the balcony to be suitable for raising flowers.

The recessed balcony is only suitable for raising some medium-Japanese flowers and negative-resistant flowers, such as Junzi orchid, one-leaf orchid, bamboo, camellia, hydrangea, etc.

Protruding balconies are more conducive to growing flowers, but depending on the orientation, the degree of light reception is also different. The relationship between the direction of the balcony and the cultivation of flowers is as follows.

The south-facing balcony can receive plenty of sunlight during the day, and it is well ventilated, making it an ideal place to raise flowers. Masculine flowers such as plums, crape myrtles, yueji, pomegranates, citrus, geraniums, jasmine, etc., are suitable for potting on south-facing balconies. You can also plant some light-loving climbing flowers on the balcony, such as Lingxiao, grapes, ground brocade, wisteria, dill, morning glory, safflower beans, ornamental gourds, etc., to form a shady environment, and then place some Chinese and Japanese flowers.

Flowers should receive more light in the morning and evening, because at this time it is mostly scattered light, containing 50 60 red and yellow light, which is conducive to the growth of flowers; However, the direct light at noon only contains 37 red and yellow light, and its light quality is not as good as scattered light, which is beneficial to the growth of flowers.

The east-facing balcony only receives sunlight for 3 to 4 hours in the morning, and does not see sunlight in the afternoon, which is suitable for cultivating short-day and shade-tolerant flowers, such as Junzi orchid, azalea, camellia, crab claw orchid, aloe vera, bamboo, etc.

The balcony facing west is only exposed to strong sunlight for 4 6 hours in the afternoon, especially during the summer heat, the sunlight is more intense, and the temperature is very high, which is extremely unfavorable to the growth of potted flowers, but it can be shaded by planting grapes, wisteria, honeysuckle, dill, morning glory and other climbing plants by erecting a frame, and planting potted flowers under the canopy, because it avoids the strong direct sunlight before 14 o'clock in the afternoon, potted flowers can still be raised. In winter, the west-facing balcony also receives plenty of sunlight, making it a great place to keep potted flowers in winter.

The balcony facing north, in the warm season suitable for the growth of flowers, rarely see the sun, only in the summer afternoon, there is the oblique sun, not very suitable for cultivating flowering plants, but if you can do a good job of ventilation, leaf spraying and ground sprinkling, etc., some shade-loving leaf-watching plants, such as bamboo, palm bamboo, one-leaf orchid, monstera, etc., can still be cultivated.
