The lack of greenery on a balcony is a significant omission. However, due to busy lives, many homeowners don’t have the time to take care of balcony plants, causing them to wither under Vietnam’s harsh sun and heat. Therefore, the question of which balcony plants are both beautiful, sun-resistant, and easy to care for is a common concern.
- Hydrangeas
What plants should be grown on a balcony? The first answer is hydrangeas. This plant loves regular watering and plenty of sunlight, making it suitable for balconies with lots of sun exposure. You should look for dwarf hydrangea varieties and choose a large pot to ensure the plant thrives.
Besides decorating your balcony, hydrangeas can be used to tastefully adorn your living room or kitchen.
- Creeping Daisy
Creeping daisy, also known as Indian Chrysanthemum, belongs to the daisy family but rarely blooms. Its lush green leaves cascade downwards like a soft, eye-catching sheet of silk. This vine plant has become a favorite choice for sunny balconies. You can even propagate smaller plants to grow by the window. It adapts well to its environment and is easy to care for.
Additionally, the creeping daisy helps regulate the living space, purifying the air and reducing pollution. Therefore, it is highly favored in offices, apartments, and villas alike.
- Maidenhair Fern
With its unique name, Maidenhair Fern belongs to the fern family and requires a stable environment to grow, so it’s important not to move it around too much. This plant is praised for its ability to withstand sun and rain. You can place it on the balcony railing or chairs.
Maidenhair ferns also help purify the air, effectively filtering out fine dust in the environment.
- Cactus
You’re probably familiar with cactus plants. Their leaves transform into sharp spines to reduce water loss. They can survive in harsh deserts, so it’s no surprise they are called the “king of heat endurance” among balcony plants.
Cacti come in many types, from large to small, with few or many spines. However, most of them thrive in hot and dry conditions, so they don’t require much effort to care for. Being a wild plant that grows in arid places, you shouldn’t water it too often—once a week is enough for it to grow naturally.
- Climbing Roses
If you love romance and femininity, don’t overlook climbing roses when choosing balcony plants. Climbing roses belong to the rose family but grow as vines with woody stems. They come in various colors, primarily soft pink, with overlapping petals and a light, pleasant fragrance.
In addition to adorning your balcony with their elegant beauty, the fragrance of climbing roses also helps relieve stress and fatigue. You can use them to decorate your living room, bedroom, or kitchen as well.
