Choosing a suitable plant to help the balcony be green around the summer
Balcony is an ideal space for planting trees, especially in the summer months when sunlight is abundant. However, not all types of trees can withstand high temperatures and prolonged sunlight.
According to garden expert Melinda Myers - author and ornamental plant expert in the US - choosing plants suitable for climate conditions is an important factor to help plants grow healthy and reduce care.
Sun-loving plants often have good heat resistance, grow quickly and give beautiful flowers or leaves throughout the summer. In addition to their aesthetic value, some can also be used in daily food and beverage processing.
