Choose clay pots, plastic pots, or just containers that will decorate your balcony garden the way you would like to decorate it. Make sure the chosen container provides good drainage.

Drain holes are best placed on the sides of the container. Place them between a quarter and a half-inch (6 mm to 1 cm) from the bottom of the container.

Balcony Garden Plants

Almost any plant you can think of to grow in a back garden will also thrive in your balcony garden under the right conditions, including:

Tips for Gardening on a Balcony

When planting in pots on a balcony, you need to use synthetic soils. They are best suited for potted plants. Synthetic soils are made from wood chips, peat, sawdust, vermiculite, perlite, or any other type of synthetic planting medium.

You can fill the bottom of the container with coarse gravel before placing the soil. This will improve the drainage of your plants.

Make sure that once the plants are in the balcony gardens, don't forget to water them. This happens most of the time. You need to water once a day and more would be too much.

If by chance your balcony has direct sunlight and is roofless, you won't have to water on rainy days. Any vegetable that is easy to transplant is ideal for growing in pots.

However, you can also germinate the seeds indoors, just as you would if you were planting them in the backyard, and then transplant them into the balcony garden containers when they are ready.

Balcony gardening will produce a large number of vegetables as long as your plants get plenty of moisture and sunlight. Make sure to harvest your vegetables when they are at their peak of maturity.

This will give you the tastiest vegetables from your balcony garden.

Gardening on a balcony is not difficult. Just do the same as you would in your own backyard, but be sure to follow the soil conditions and container rules listed above. If you do, your balcony gardens will flourish.
