A garden in the heights
If you have a balcony or terrace, what do you expect to create your own oasis in the hills? You can create a warm and cozy if you decorate with plants there, and make that space your favorite for breakfast or watch the sunset. Before starting your work, it is important to make sure to choose those that do can survive on the site plan for them, that is, to tolerate the amount of sun they receive, according to the orientation of your balcony.

Railing against
Depending on the space you have, you might consider several options. For small spaces, you can choose plants that go against the railings. In addition to leave space for some fresh air out in the evenings, they can also help provide a little privacy to the environment

Create your own landscape
If you live in a building of several apartments and get along with neighbors, you could even suggest that the settlement of the balconies is similar. Thus, given the place is lovely, and everyone will feel good to live in a place like that.

On the walls
An excellent choice for decorating a terrace, are climbing plants, it takes up little room, with a fine against a wall planters will do that to settle there, giving a splendid view to the place. The most commonly used for this purpose are often the Passion, the ivy and jasmine.

Plants that resist
We must admit that not everyone has “good hands” for plants. In this case, and if you like cacti, these plants could be the ideal choice to give life to your balcony. You are very resistant to any weather and also look good almost anywhere. Not have to water them daily and this may be an advantage.
