If you want a green balcony in summer, you should pay attention to what you plant on your balcony in spring. Choosing the right variety of fruit trees, for example, is important when planting on a balcony.
Climbing plants can quickly attack the building structure, such as the external plaster, and thereby cause costs. It's better to ask your landlord or landlady in advance whether he or she is okay with ivy, wine and the like. Some of the so-called invasive plant species are also not allowed on the balcony in the EU. These plants are not available in garden centers anyway, but there are always opportunities to buy seeds and plants of invasive species on the Internet. You can find even more exciting garden topics in the regular newsletter from our partner 24garten.de. The list includes a total of over 40 plants whose growth gardeners are not allowed to support. The EU list of banned plant species includes: Andean pampas grass, Cortaderia jubata, Lygodium japonicum and Chilean giant rhubarb.
