For those with small balconies, or need the space, there are many resources to turn this place into a beautiful garden in miniature…

Decorative Balconies with Houseplants

If the balcony had blind walls, or those found between doors and windows, they can tack a fence, colonial or modern, to discontinue it, by means of a support. Also iron, pots, 8, 10 and 12 cm in diameter. Bell-shaped if the fence was a common colonial or otherwise.

To save space gardeners should use flyers, leaving open the floor of the balcony. These containers must be of metal so that your weight is not excessive, and placed on the top of the fence or the height of the floor. They go well all the plants in one shade.

If the balcony had no walls, these pots, with all sorts of hanging plants, can be suspended with its support of the balcony railing, on different levels. ie, some higher and others lower.

They should have drain pipe in the back of the planter, so that the excess irrigation water falling on the balcony.

There are balconies that have an external platform for support of the flower, yet they must be secured to the bars. The planter can be placed at the height of the floor at the top to the front, or around the balcony.

Another interesting decorative motif is a cage with stand, inside which you can place a large-diameter pot or a deep bowl, entering it on the floor of the cage.

Hanging plants such as geraniums, Capucine (tacos queen), vincas disciplined (or ivy, dwarf, if the balcony was a shaded) are the varieties best suited in this case.

Do not forget that the more exposed to air and sun are the plants need more irrigation. Fertilizer should be placed regularly, the plants are placed in pots or planter.
