Garden Flowers

Garden flowers consist of hardy plants suitable for living on balconies and in gardens. Unlike indoor plants, they require more light, better air circulation, and adaptability to seasonal changes. In return, they offer a much wider flowering and growth than indoor plants can provide.

Choosing Plants for Your Balcony and Garden

• Orientation: South-facing balconies are suitable for sun-loving species, while north-facing balconies are better suited for shade-tolerant plants.
• Wind: Wind has a significant effect at higher floors; sturdy species should be preferred over plants with thin stems.
• Pot size: Soil dries out faster outdoors; larger pots help maintain moisture balance better.
• Winter hardiness: Some species must be brought indoors during the winter; knowing this need from the start will prolong the plant's life.
• Watering schedule: During the summer months, outdoor plants require much more frequent watering than indoor plants.

Seasonal Maintenance

Spring is a growing season for outdoor plants; watering is increased during these months, and repotting is done if necessary. In summer, the soil dries out quickly; watering early in the morning or in the cool evening prevents leaf burn. Watering is reduced in autumn, and in winter, susceptible species are moved indoors. Saucers should be emptied in winter, as water accumulating at the bottom of pots can freeze and damage the roots.

Outdoor Plant Care

• Water abundantly when the top layer of soil is dry; in outdoor areas, frequent, abundant watering is more effective than infrequent, sparse watering.
• Regularly remove dried leaves and flowers; this allows the plant to dedicate its energy to new shoots.
• Pots must have open drainage holes; clogged holes lead to root rot.
• The soil becomes depleted during the growing season; nutrient support helps maintain the plant's vitality.
• Check the undersides of the leaves; pests are more common outdoors.

Garden Plants as Gifts

A plant sent to someone with a garden or a large balcony is a much more lasting gift than cut flowers. It's suitable for those moving into a new home, those landscaping their garden, and those who enjoy plant care as a hobby. If the recipient doesn't have an outdoor space, indoor options would be more appropriate; in this case, you can look at the potted plants , succulents , and orchids categories.

What determines the price of garden plants?

Prices vary depending on the plant's type, height, age, pot size, and material. Larger and slower-growing varieties are more expensive. Prices may also fluctuate seasonally as seasonal conditions affect supply costs. You can narrow down the price filter to list products within your desired price range.

What plants can grow on a balcony?
The orientation of the balcony is a determining factor. Sun-loving plant species should be preferred for sunny balconies, while low-light tolerant species should be chosen for shaded balconies.

Hardy species can stay outdoors; sensitive species need to be brought indoors during the winter months.

How often should it be watered?
They require much more frequent watering than other indoor plants during the summer months. Abundant watering is recommended when the top layer of soil dries out.

Would it be sent to someone who doesn't have a garden?
