North-facing windows will bring in an abundance of light whereas south-facing windows won\u2019t get the sun as much. Think about how much sunshine your plant of choice needs and place it accordingly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><b>How much it needs watering<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">: Some will need watering way more than others. If you\u2019ve got a history of killing plants, stick to low maintenance ones to begin with. That said, make sure you ramp up your watering routine to avoid history repeating itself!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><b>Plant food<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">: Give your plants extra nutrients every so often to keep them looking lush.

Why not make your cactus your new desk buddy in your home office?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Did we mention they also make great housewarming gifts?

Be mindful they are naturally grown in the desert \u2013 only ever water cacti when the soil is completely dry. Give them a good soak rather than watering them a bit at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5464 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Areca plants evoke the feeling of height\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-1100x734.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-165x110.jpg 165w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Areca-palm-plant-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Areca palm<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">The Areca palm plant will create a grand focal point in your home and evoke a feeling of height \u2013 ideal for making your space seem taller.

Water them every few days and spray their leaves to keep them looking oh-so-fresh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Urban-garden-balcony.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5468 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Urban-garden-balcony.jpeg\" alt=\"Create an urban balcony on your garden\" width=\"1079\" height=\"693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Urban-garden-balcony.jpeg 1079w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Urban-garden-balcony-300x193.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Urban-garden-balcony-1024x658.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Urban-garden-balcony-768x493.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Urban-garden-balcony-800x514.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Urban-garden-balcony-171x110.jpeg 171w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Urban-garden-balcony-343x220.jpeg 343w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1079px) 100vw, 1079px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">How to create an urban garden on your balcony<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">If you\u2019re lucky enough to have a balcony, then you have<\/span>\u00a0the freedom to be a little bit more adventurous with your plant choices. You can make your balcony look like a miniature garden in no time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">But, it\u2019s important to bear in mind where it faces. Buildings and trees can block out sunlight, so take the surrounding environment into account when picking your plants as this will dictate which will be most suited.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If your balcony is sunny, then you\u2019re best off with plants that can bear the heat and a lack of water. You might also need to create shade or wind-breaks to stop them from drying out. Geraniums are a popular choice because they won\u2019t wilt (there\u2019s a reason why you\u2019ll see them hanging off balconies in hot countries). If your balcony is sheltered, you\u2019ll need to make sure you give your plants a drink regularly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Think about fragrance too. Having scented plants on the balcony can make it feel atmospheric when you\u2019re sat out lapping up the glorious views. Jasmine will give off a refreshing aroma. Herbs also create a powerful scent and won\u2019t take up much space. Plus, they\u2019ll provide you with lots of fresh flavours for cooking. Pop them in wooden planters to keep them looking stylish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If you\u2019re looking to grow some veg on your balcony, tomatoes and chillies are great choices \u2013 just remember that your balcony will need to be positioned in a sunny spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">You can also send your indoor plants on a much-needed summer holiday by placing them on your balcony. Some succulents such as aloe vera will thrive in the heat of the outdoor sun. But, not all plants will, so check the instructions before sending them off on their travels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">For an urban garden that really wows, deck out your balcony with a strip of artificial grass and adorn it with potted plants. You could even house some of your plants on old wooden step ladders for an unconventional look. Hanging planters, baskets and cute window boxes will add extra appeal and create leafy views from the windows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Now we\u2019ve provided you with some ideas, it\u2019s time to test how good of a plant parent you are to all your new leafy friends.
