How to decorate the balcony into a greenhouse

Having a garden-style balcony is the dream of many people to plan their future home decoration. But it is a well-planned problem to really complete the transformation from balcony to greenhouse. Because this conversion must be at the expense of the real housing area, in the words my wife once said: "The house you bought for 1. 1 10,000 square meters actually cost!"

Of course, the final result is that my wife finally agreed to give me less than two square meters of space for me to decorate. So on my balcony, I put a few pots of sundew, broad bamboo, lemon tree, tiger orchid and so on. Looking around, I can see a layer of green, which is also pleasing to the eye.

Because I have a corresponding understanding before, I want to talk about my suggestions for this change.

Step 1: Choose flowers and plants according to the orientation of the balcony.

If you want to make the greenhouse beautiful enough for plants to grow for a long time, then the orientation of the balcony must be taken into account. For example, if the balcony faces south, you should choose some plants that are resistant to light and like sunshine, and if your back is to the balcony, you can choose plants with backlight.

Be sure to choose the plants and flowers placed on the balcony according to the growth characteristics of plants, and never choose them according to your own appearance preferences, otherwise it is likely that the flowers you see will slowly wither and die.

If you don't know the characteristics of plants, you can communicate clearly with the merchants when buying. Tell the orientation of your balcony, and then ask the merchants to recommend which flowers are suitable for planting.

Step 2: Place the flowers and plants in layers.

The flowers and plants in the balcony must choose different varieties and be placed in layers, so that they can be scattered and beautiful. Otherwise, if your balcony is full of green radish, it is not a greenhouse.

The placement method I recommend is: put the tall flowers in the innermost part; Plants with medium height and large leaves are placed in the middle, and then small pots of flowers are flexibly placed as decoration. Moreover, in the arrangement of flowers, you can add some props, such as stools, round tables, and even a few books you have read, which can separate the high and low levels of flowers and form a decentralized effect.

The third step of changing the greenhouse: we must pay attention to pest control.

Once my greenhouse was infested with insects because of a pot of flowers, and as a result, several pots of flowers around it were infested with insects. This is really a disaster for the balcony greenhouse, so I used the method of soaking cigarette butts in water to water the flowers, so I tried to buy pesticides on the street. In a word, I tried everything and finally succeeded. Therefore, planting flowers, killing insects, watering and fertilizing on the balcony should be considered. Don't put it too tightly, it will bring you trouble in growing flowers in the future.

Planting flowers is an imaginary beauty, but for this beauty, it is the price of hard work. I will definitely support your idea, but I will definitely give you advice from a realistic point of view. Choosing a balcony as a greenhouse means that you have lost some storage space, so it will be difficult for you to hang clothes and bask in the quilt on the balcony in the future, and the space you spent tens of thousands of dollars on is only used for growing flowers.

However, home is a happy place to live, and you should have all the beautiful things you expect. Besides, isn't it a good deal to exchange tens of thousands of dollars for your daily comfort?
