Next, let's take a look at it from the perspective of flower cultivation and feng shui!
Feng Shui Taboos for Raising Flowers on Balcony
1. Keep less fragrant and irritating flowers on the balcony. Orchids, roses, Chinese roses, lilies and cordate telosma all give off rich fragrance. The pot is fragrant, and keeping it too fragrant will cause nervous excitement and insomnia. The smell of Christmas flowers and evergreen flowers is not good for human body, and long-term contact between tulip and hydrangea particles can cause allergies and itching.
2. The number of flowers planted on the balcony should not be too much. Most flowers release carbon dioxide at night and absorb oxygen to compete with others. Balcony is generally closed, and the air does not circulate with the outside world. If there are too many flowers on the balcony, it will reduce the indoor oxygen concentration at night, thus affecting the indoor air quality, causing chest tightness and frequent nightmares.
3. Balcony flowers are poisonous flowers. Such as oleander, its stems, leaves and flowers are toxic in spring, summer and autumn, and its milky white juice contains oleanolin, which will be poisoned if eaten by mistake; Narcissus bulbs contain Latin toxins, which can cause vomiting and other diseases if eaten by mistake. Mosaic juice will make the skin red and swollen, and it will damage the eyes if the juice gets into the eyes by mistake. Too much exposure to mimosa can easily lead to sparse eyebrows, yellow hair and serious hair loss.
4. Pay attention to safety issues and neighborhood relations when planting flowers on unsealed balconies and extension stands. The former is best to install a protective frame to prevent the flowerpot from falling and hurting passers-by due to wind and careless operation. The latter should prevent the watering flowerpot from leaking and dropping soil, soiling the clothes of the residents downstairs and affecting neighborhood relations. In this case, it is best to put a plastic bottom pot and tinplate or plastic plate under the flowerpot.
Feng shui knowledge of balcony flower cultivation
Due to different balcony orientations, the length of sunshine varies greatly. The balcony facing south can fully enjoy enough sunshine, while the balcony facing north has basically no sunshine in summer, while the balcony facing east and west can only accept half a day's sunshine. Therefore, when planting flowers on the balcony, we should choose suitable plant varieties according to different orientations, so as not to lose more than we gain.
1, the balcony facing south, with long illumination time and high temperature, can raise some flowers and plants that like sunshine, such as Milan, jasmine, hibiscus and Chinese rose. In summer and autumn, Taiwan Province is full of flowers and fragrance. However, in summer, the light is relatively strong, so it is necessary to pay attention to proper shade when growing flowers, and also to cultivate high-temperature resistant plants such as water lilies and lotus flowers.
2. If the balcony faces north and there is no strong light all the year round, it is only suitable for raising some shade-tolerant flowers, such as Liriodendron chinense, green radish, ivy, perennial begonia, Reineckea carnea, and Eupatorium odoratum. When there is no light in winter and the temperature is low, we should pay attention to the warmth of flowers, or directly move indoor plants and flowers to sunny places for maintenance.
3. If the balcony faces east and the light is strong only in the morning, you can raise some plants that are afraid of light, such as French colored trees, brown bamboo and Brazilian wood. You can also raise some creeping plants, such as Lingxiao and Mulberry. Of course, you can also plant some farm plants such as loofah, eyebrow beans and zucchini, so you can kill two birds with one stone.
4. The balcony facing west has good sunshine in the afternoon, long illumination time and high temperature in summer. You can plant vines such as morning glory, honeysuckle, Parthenocissus tricuspidata and wisteria, set up scaffolding to climb, or stick it on the wall to form a green curtain, which can block the light, soften the indoor light and watch beautiful flowers.
