Spring is the time to put things in order on the balcony or loggia and prepare for sowing annual flowers or vegetables. You need to think about what you can plant from perennials.
You should already have seeds, soil, fertilizers, pots, boxes, pots in store. For climbing plants, you can make trellises, arches, pylons, you can attach corners to the wall and make shelves, install fluorescent lamps. Boxes that will be suspended outside the balcony should be securely fastened. It is best to choose the color of the boxes green, olive, yellow-green, blue.

Properly and tastefully selected, well-groomed plants will decorate the appearance of buildings and give you great pleasure.
How can you decorate the loggia and balcony? Any plants: indoor and garden flowers, various vegetables, fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs planted in buckets, boxes and pots. You just need to take into account at what time the balcony is illuminated by the sun, its size, whether it is glazed or not, the height of the plants (low-growing plants must be planted in the upper containers, and, for example, an apple tree, grapes, etc. will fit on the floor).
Just do not forget that the containers in which the plants grow will quickly evaporate water and take nutrients from the soil, so they will need to be watered and fed frequently. Do not forget that different plants can tolerate different air temperatures, so they should be on the balcony in the month when the temperature is not critical for them. Plants that need humid air need to place trays of water and spray them with a spray bottle.
Indoor plants for a north- facing balcony: hybrids of Scherzer's actuarium, hybrids of royal begonia, cordilina, cyperus, rubber ficus, world-like, tiny, ivy, monstera, peperomia, philodendron, pepper, syngonium, fatsia, cyclamen, tradescania and others.
For the balconies of the northeastern and northwestern sides of garden flowers I can recommend the following plants: ageratum, snapdragon, ever-flowering begonia, balsam, verbena, carnation, calendula, coreopsis, levkoy, lobelia, mignonette, mirabilis, nasturtium, petunia, pelargonium, tagetis, tobacco, zinnia; biennials - violet, middle bell, daisy, foxglove, forget-me-not; perennials - astilba, arabis, badan, periwinkle, iris, daylily, primrose, phlox and others.
Indoor plants for the southern balcony: abutilon, ehmeya, beloperona, sansevieria, bastard bright red, bougainvillea, echeveria, bellflower, epiphyllum hybrid, passionflower, clivia, hemantus, myrtle, hibiscus, cacti, kalanchoe and other succulents, succulents and other succulents.
Of the garden flowers for the southern, southeastern and southwestern sides, the following ornamental flowers can be recommended: for early spring flowering - bulbous, which, having been planted in containers since autumn, have undergone cooling (3-4 months); for early summer flowering - Iberis bitter, alissum, escholzia, annual phlox, lobelia, nasturtium, verbena, petunia, snapdragon, brilliant gatsaniya, demorphoteka, cornflowers, ageratum, salvia, calendula.

While there is time to think, you can select a plant by height, color, shape and estimate how many plants can be planted on the balcony. It is not necessary to have a large assortment of plants - "Small spool, but expensive!" So get to work! Let our balconies turn into miniature Hanging Gardens! There is a choice of plants
When decorating balconies and loggias with flowers, special attention should be paid to flower boxes and ground. I plant flowers on the balcony in wooden boxes 1 meter long, 25 cm wide and 25 cm high, at the bottom there must be holes for drainage. I prepare the soil from a mixture of light loam, sand and peat with a fine lumpy structure. I add 0.5 liters of ash to each box. Since autumn, I put potato peelings on the bottom with a layer of about 5 cm.
For ampel gardening, I hang plastic pots, and for vertical gardening - old tubs and large buckets, I put them right on the balcony floor. You can stick an old dry tree into the tub, a plant will curl over it, and I stick willow twigs into the boxes. It is beautiful, and the flowers do not break from the wind. Annual flowers can be sown directly into boxes: alyssum, calendula, cornflowers, asters, nasturtium, crystal chamomile. Seedlings - pansies, marigolds, geraniums, annual dahlias, lobelia.
On the sunny side, it is better to plant: begonia, verbena, carnations, snapdragons, matiola, daisies, nemesia, petunia, salvia, annual phlox, morning glory, balsam, fragrant tobacco, fuchsia, sweet peas, ornamental beans and frenzied greening as well as nasturtium.
On the north side - marigolds, begonia tubers, nasturtium, forget-me-nots, primrose, tobacco.
You can bring indoor flowers to the balconies in the loggia. For them, choose a semi-shady place, protected from the wind. You can endure: aloe, cacti, monstera, tradescantia, ficus, oleander, ivy, palm, clivia, azalea, dracaena, aucuba.
