I also want to know the feng shui taboo of planting flowers on the balcony.
Because the balcony environment is relatively dry, watering is generally slightly more than that in the open field, and because of different climatic conditions, the watering frequency is different. According to the actual dry and wet conditions of the basin soil and the principle of "seeing dry and seeing wet", we should master it flexibly. Because it is difficult for most balcony flowers to get natural rain and dew, artificial spraying is very important.
In dry season and hot summer, spraying branches and leaves several times a day to increase air humidity is very beneficial to most flowers. Some flower growers often spread bricks and sprinkle water on the balcony floor, because bricks can seep out more water and evaporate when heated, thus improving air humidity. This is a simple and effective humidification measure. To make the balcony flowers grow healthily and flourish, we should also pay attention to supplementing necessary nutrition frequently.
According to the types of fertilizers needed by different flowers, more decomposed organic fertilizers should be applied in the culture soil, and more compound flower fertilizers should be applied at the peak of growth. In order to maintain the beautiful shape of plants, attention should be paid to coring, bud wiping and pruning, and residual flowers and dead branches should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption. For flowers with strong phototaxis, turn over the pots every few days. It is hot in midsummer in northern China. At this time, reed curtains or grass curtains should be hung around noon to prevent the sun from exposure. In addition, it is best to use sterilized culture soil for potted plants, which can reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. Such as aphids, red spiders, scale insects, leaf spot, powdery mildew, yellowing and so on.
Practically speaking, balcony plants can beautify the living environment, relieve visual fatigue and mental stress, and add interest to life. In addition, due to the existence of balcony plants, the temperature and humidity of indoor space can be adjusted, which can bring coolness in hot summer and alleviate dryness in various seasons. More importantly, smog weather is increasing in many cities, and air pollution is serious. If dust and harmful gases in the air enter the room through the balcony, it is extremely harmful to the health of residents.
Placing some plants that can absorb dust or harmful gases on the balcony can purify indoor air and greatly reduce the harm of air pollution. However, in recent years, some environmental scientists have questioned the rationality of placing plants on balconies. They think that because balconies are generally not equipped with heating, their plants are easy to freeze to death in winter, which is difficult to manage and brings a lot of trouble and trouble to their owners.
At the same time, placing flowers and plants on the balcony can not play a big role in purifying indoor air and protecting human health. Because plants are placed on the balcony, they are too far away from the living room, room and other indoor spaces, and they are also far away from the living range of residents, so they cannot directly purify the dirty indoor air. This wastes the health care function of some plants.
In this regard, some environmental scientists suggest that it is best not to put those plants suitable for indoor use on the balcony, but to move them to the living room, bedroom, study and bathroom of residents' daily life, so that plants can keep close contact with residents and give full play to their health care functions.
Feng shui with plants on the balcony
1. In view of the air pollution caused by smog weather, plants such as ivy, chlorophytum, rubber tree, tortoise shell bamboo, ivy, Sargassum, cycad and green radish can be selected on the balcony. These plants are natural dust collectors, which can remove formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, chlorine, ethylene and other harmful gases in the air.
From an ornamental point of view, plants such as Clivia, Chrysanthemum, Begonia, Camellia, Jasmine, Rhododendron, Nandina, Bergamot, Kumquat and Four Seasons Orange can be placed on the balcony.
