Elevate Your Green Haven: Starting a Small Balcony Vertical Garden

Are you feeling the itch to flex your gardening muscles but think your small patio or tiny balcony is just too cramped to grow anything? Well, you're not alone. Urban city living doesn't mean you have to sacrifice a garden or putting your green thumb away. 

The solution is right above you – quite literally! Vertical gardening is the ultimate space-saving technique that transforms even the tiniest balconies into thriving urban oases.

Here are a few simple tips to start your vertical garden. 

1. Assess space and light: Evaluate your balcony's size and sunlight exposure (4-6 hours/day).
   
   
2. Choose suitable containers: Opt for wall-mounted planters that are secure, hanging pots, and railing boxes. Our Views Balcony Adjustable Railing Planters were beautifully created to be durable, sturdy, and ensure that your plants are level. 

3. Select the right plants: Pick vertical-friendly options like ivy, ferns, herbs, and colorful flowers. Herbs make the perfect balcony plants as they thrive in sunlight and are easy to maintain. 

4. Prepare soil and plant: Use well-draining potting mix and provide support for vining plants.

5. Water and maintain: Regularly water, fertilize, and prune to ensure healthy growth.

6. Protect from elements: Shield plants from strong winds and extreme weather.

Lastly, have fun with it! Plants are meant to help destress your life not add more stress. Make sure to enjoy the process. 

Happy planting!
