Now in May is finally the time when the balcony can be transformed into a fragrant sea of flowers. Whether standing, climbing, hanging, large or small – balcony flowers are available in every desired variety and color. We have summarized the important tips for ensuring that the potted garden blooms magnificently in the summer.<\/p>\n

TIPS – Planting balcony flowers<\/h1>\n

The right time<\/h3>\n

Balcony flowers should only be planted after the Ice Saints, i.e. after May 15, because there is a high probability that there may still be night frosts by mid-May. If you don’t want to wait that long, you can still use pansies, horned violets or already pre-pulled spring flowers such as daffodils, tulips, hyacinths or primroses.<\/p>\n

Tip!<\/strong> Clean balcony boxes and planters before planting to remove any harmful residue or disease germs from previous planting seasons.<\/p>\n

Drainage<\/h3>\n

To avoid waterlogging and resulting damage and disease, balcony boxes and planters should always be open at the bottom or have holes to allow excess water to drain away. A good drainage layer of expanded clay also aids good drainage. For small boxes, a one-inch layer of soil is sufficient.<\/p>\n

Soil<\/h3>\n

Don’t skimp on soil, as cheap products are not particularly structurally stable and contain a lot of black peat. Environmentally conscious gardeners like to choose peat-free soil.<\/p>\n

The right distance when planting<\/h3>\n

Even if balcony flowers are still very small at the beginning, they should not be planted too densely. For smaller plants, a hand-width spacing is recommended; for stronger-growing flowers, the spacing can be twice as much.<\/p>\n

Watering<\/h3>\n

The be-all and end-all for thriving is adequate watering. The very popular perennials in particular require a lot of water, and depending on the orientation, you may need to water more on the south side than on the north side. An automatic watering system provides reliable, on-demand care here and not only gives you more free time, but also saves water costs and increases the growth and yield of your plants.<\/p>\n
