First, the balcony garden design skills
1. In the design of balcony garden, the first thing to pay attention to is drainage. Like people, plants need water, and if they lack water, plants will wither. Because we live upstairs, drainage is a problem, unlike on the ground, where the poured water directly seeps into the ground. Small tubes can be used to connect the lower parts of plants, or small back channels can be used to let excess water flow out and drain away after we water it.
2. With perfect drainage facilities, the next step is soil preparation. When planting plants, soil is indispensable. Friends who want to build a small fenced garden must prepare more soil, so that they can not only plant flowers, but also plant some grass, just like a green lawn. It should be noted that before laying soil, you must take leak-proof measures on the ground, such as coating a layer of waterproof glue.
Having made the above preparations, the next step is to choose plants. Son, when choosing plants, you can't just choose what you like, but also pay attention to collocation. For example, plants planted on the ground, plants planted in pots and chlorophytum hanging in the sky. With plants, the next step is to choose "home" for plants. Chlorophytum can choose some wrought iron frames close to nature, which are very charming.
4. When choosing plants, we should also choose them according to their nature. Some plants like shade, some like sun, some are tenacious, and some are fragile, so we should choose them according to our actual situation. Such as Milan, Jasmine, Rose, etc. Can make the room fragrant; Impatiens, Catharanthus roseus, Chrysanthemum, Cotton Flooring, Rainflower, Celosia cristata, etc. , bright color, easy to cultivate; Perilla frutescens, hibiscus, colored pepper, rue and daylily can not only be viewed, but also be used as ingredients and seasonings in family recipes.
Second, the balcony garden decoration method
1. It is necessary to prioritize and clarify functions.
A slightly newer house has 2-3 balconies. Before decoration, distinguish the main balcony and the sub-balcony, and clarify the function of each balcony. Generally, the balcony adjacent to the living room and master bedroom is the main balcony, which should focus on leisure and fitness, and can be equipped with gym, tea room and so on. The decorative materials of calcium silicate board walls and floors should also be consistent with the living room; The second balcony is generally adjacent to the kitchen or the room outside the living room and master bedroom, mainly for storing things and drying clothes, which can be simpler when decorating.
2. Pay attention to the packaging quality.
Balcony packaging quality is the key to balcony decoration. Pay attention to its wind resistance and install it firmly. Seal it properly, or it will be unsealed if it leaks. The lower opening of the window frame is the easiest to leak water. Generally, a gap of 2 cm is reserved under the window frame and filled with special sealant or cement. If there is a windowsill, you should make an outward slope.
3. Pay attention to safety.
The balcony structure of most houses is not designed for bearing capacity, and usually the bearing capacity per square meter does not exceed 400 kilograms, so it is necessary to understand its bearing capacity when decorating the balcony. Decoration should not exceed its load, and heavy furniture should be put as little as possible to avoid danger. There is a wall between the bedroom and the balcony. The doors and windows on the wall can be removed, but the lower part of the window can never be removed. It is the "counterweight wall" in the building structure, which plays the role of supporting the balcony. If removed, it will seriously affect the safety of the balcony. When sealing the balcony, try not to put the balcony out to occupy more space, which is not only dangerous, but also unsightly, and the property management department does not allow it.
