How to decorate a balcony or terrace with plants and flowers that will last more than one season? 

Here are 5 useful tips to avoid mistakes and always have it perfect--even if you don't have a green thumb! 

 

1. Ensure landscape constraints and condominium rules. It is essential that the project complies with regulations to avoid problems in the short and long term.

 

2. Evaluate the available space. This does not only refer to floor area but also vertical heights. Vertical planters, privacy screens, and shelves can enrich and define balcony spaces, improving both livability and functionality.

 

3. Evaluate the microclimate. Sun exposure and air currents vary from floor to floor and from one season to another. Choose plants that thrive in the specific conditions of your terrace.

 

4. Identify the activities you want to carry out on your terrace. Do you want to redesign your terrace to create a green area where you can relax during hot summer days, or would you prefer to grow your personal vegetable garden? 

 

5. Assess your gardening skills. How much time and resources do you want to dedicate to caring for your greenery? Planning the cost to maintain your plants—both in terms of price and personal effort—is fundamental. If you already know that your time will be limited or that you will often be away for extended periods, installing an automatic irrigation system is the best, if not essential, solution to keep your green space lush without worries. Similarly, choosing succulents or evergreens will allow you to spend less time on maintenance.
