Lovers of indoor plants can use the balcony to arrange a winter garden. This type of space organization is suitable for glazed, well-insulated balconies.
Like any room, a balcony with a garden requires interior decoration and proper organization of space. For wall paneling, use tiles or lining treated with a water-repellent composition, and laminate or linoleum is suitable for the floor. When arranging the space, use these life hacks:
- use a rack to place more plants in a small area;
- place small plants, sprayers and plant care accessories on glass or wooden shelves on the wall;
- fix hooks in the wall on which you can hang pots with hanging plants;
- plan a place to store containers, soil and fertilizers.
The main problems are ensuring good drainage and moderate load on the balcony. If in doubt, seek professional help to determine whether the weight of the plants you want to place in the winter garden is acceptable for the balcony.
If the balcony is located on the side where there is not enough sunlight, use special phytolamps or lighting devices for illumination.
