In order to beautify the living environment and meet people's aesthetic requirements, some flowers planted on the ground are gradually cultivated into potted plants and hydroponics, which greatly facilitates flower lovers living in high-rise communities. Because many flower lovers have more than one kind of flowers, but not many people cultivate flowers scientifically, today Bian Xiao will introduce the matters needing attention and geomantic knowledge of balcony flower cultivation.
First, the matters needing attention of planting flowers on the balcony
1. Water the balcony in time, but the soil in the basin dries easily. These flowers will die if you don't water them earlier. The solution is: the flowerpot should be large to store more water, and the flowerpot should be dense to increase the humidity of the surrounding air. Water more water every time, and put a plastic bag on the small flowerpot to reduce the moisture on the leaves.
2. In order to prevent the sunshine from damaging the balcony of potted flowers, the sunshine is sufficient, which is beneficial to the photosynthesis of flowers. However, some flowers and plants should not be exposed to the sun, so they can be placed behind the larger flowers of plants or moved to the shade and indoors. The balcony is hot in summer, which will burn the roots of potted flowers. You can put a wooden board under the basin for heat insulation, or you can spread a layer of plastic film on the balcony and a layer of river sand with a thickness of 5 cm.
3. Put a flowerpot on the sand, and wet the river sand every time you water it, so that the water in the river sand can evaporate, which can adjust the air humidity.
Second, the feng shui knowledge of balcony flower cultivation
1. Balcony facing south
Because of the sufficient light and high temperature, it is suitable for raising and arranging some flowers that need high light, such as colored grass, cycad, canna, sunflower and so on. Because flowers have different requirements for light in different seasons, different flowers can be cultivated on the balcony facing south all year round. When the temperature is suitable in spring and autumn, most flowers can be cultivated. The temperature is high in summer, so most flowers are not suitable to be raised on the balcony facing south. Attention should be paid to shading and cooling. If there is no shading and cooling, plants and flowers that are not afraid of high temperature can be raised. Such as triangle flower, water lily, lotus flower, cockscomb flower, sunflower, marigold and so on. In winter, the temperature is not too low. If the closed balcony has high temperature and light, it is suitable for raising cold foliage plants such as orchids and clivia. But the temperature is cold in winter and night, so we should pay attention to antifreeze.
2. balcony facing west
The balcony facing west has good light in winter and high temperature in the afternoon, which is especially suitable for planting flowers. Spring and autumn are suitable for growing flowers. But in summer, the temperature is high and the light is strong, which is only suitable for flowers that can withstand high temperature and sunshine.
3. balcony facing east
The balcony facing east is suitable for some plants that are afraid of strong light, such as rich trees, brown bamboo, Brazilian wood, etc., because it only has strong light in the morning. Early spring and autumn, winter is also suitable for raising shade flowers, such as orchids and pineapples. But winter is too cold and the light is not strong. It is only suitable for flowers that are not too afraid of cold, such as rubber trees and brown bamboo, and can also raise flowers that sleep in winter.

4. Balcony facing north
The balcony facing north has no strong light all year round, and it is only suitable for raising shade-tolerant flowers, such as Liriodendron chinense, green radish, ivy, flying grass and so on. When there is no light and the temperature is low in winter, attention should be paid to heat preservation, or plants and flowers should be moved to lighted rooms and balconies.
5. Top balcony
Due to the high position of the top floor, abundant sunshine and good temperature conditions, it is suitable for most flowers. However, in summer, the temperature on the top floor is higher than that on the balcony downstairs. In ancient times, only some flowers that liked high temperature and light could be cultivated, such as water lily, late lily, pomegranate, cycad and sunflower. Otherwise, it should be cool and protected from light. In addition, the top floor is windy, the air circulation is good, and the probability of flowers getting sick is low. For most flowers, strong winds tend to reduce air humidity. Leaf-watching plants and some flowers that require high air humidity, such as watermelon peel and pepper grass, are easy to dehydrate, curl their leaves and burn their edges. So be sure to pay attention to supplement the air humidity. Spray more water around. Be sure to keep the temperature of flowers in winter and transplant them indoors at night to prevent freezing.
After reading the text, it is estimated that a large wave of flower friends finally know the reason for the sudden death of a plant they planted that year! Different kinds of plants have different requirements for their living environment. Plants with beautiful leaves can not be cultivated by watering, fertilizing and lighting on time. The key is to understand what it needs and what it should pay, so as to cultivate satisfactory plants.
