Echo's north balcony garden, I am not surprised by the appearance

Strictly speaking, I am not a gardening enthusiast, but my professional background. And the longer you work, the more you hate the bad weather in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

Of course, it is not from a human point of view, I have to experience the climate from the perspective of plants, especially ornamental plants, and the days that can be suitable for them are too short.

What about the situation in the warm south, in the garden garden?

Among the horticultural big V I pay attention to, there are those in Sichuan, those in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and those in Yunnan.

In fact, in addition to their own carefully taken care of the yard, there are many people who have a greenhouse, and many large-scale stores have smart greenhouses.

This means that their well-raised facilities complement each other.2

So why is the "echo north balcony garden" that we are going to talk about today quickly accumulating popularity in the street? What about the so-called new urban taoyuan?

It is because the owner Echo emphasizes three innate conditions that are very different from other big Vs:

1. Northbound

2. 5.9 square meters

3. Shenzhen

Echo's north balcony garden

—— 1 ——

If you want to explore the mystery of the cultivation of this balcony garden, you must first talk about its basic conditions.

Northbound

Echo once used a compass photo to illustrate that the balcony was north-northwest-facing.

So she said there was plenty of sunshine in the summer (sunset late). And I would add that the floor of echo's house should be in the middle and high-rise areas from the photos.

View from the balcony

In high-rise residences, regardless of which direction, the higher the floor, the better the light conditions, the less likely they are to be obscured. And sometimes there is light reflected from the windows of the next building.

I believe that these have been considered when the Echo buys a house and renovates, and there is also the problem of air circulation after the unsealed balcony. Therefore, some netizens are blindly pessimistic or optimistic without looking closely at the situation of her home.

5.9 sq.m

The "small" of this balcony is smaller than many one-story courtyards, and the layout of the plants here is very worth learning.

The three-dimensional greening pattern is used by the echo to shade the rainwater pipes, and there are many flower pots that are hung on railings and clothes drying poles, leaving space on the ground for larger fruit tree pots, plus a hanging cabinet for tools.

Another important point is that she does not have a "warm shed" and no place to get it. She was not professional enough to build a "sanatorium" for plants that could isolate diseases.

Many flowers and plants will become more and more common in our ordinary people's homes or companies for a long time.

At this time, there is a green plant rental company, and they will pull your bad things back to the "nursing home". So you will find the flowers and flowers of "online" and "other people's homes", and the mental state will always be so good!

From Echo's reply to fans, I can also see that Echo's flowers don't stay on that balcony all the time. Sometimes she would move a pot of stuff to another room depending on the weather.

It is also the simplest measure to give the plant some relief.

Deep

Finally, let's talk about the location of Shenzhen.

Such a small balcony has resonated with too many netizens in Shenzhen, especially young people. I think most of these people are foodies, just by seeing lemons, tomatoes, and begonia fruits, you can triple the button!

Dozens of plants gather on the balcony

Yes, I didn't expect Shenzhen to raise so many kinds of plants, from foliage plants to fruit plants... Echo is still telling fans that it will continue to try different plants to bring fresh experiences to everyone in the future.

Shenzhen is a very hot air conditioning very cold place in the summer, haha, this I know.

With an average annual temperature of 22.4 degrees Celsius, it is about to cross into the tropics, and in recent years it has had rainy summers and typhoons. See Echo said in the video that the compass typhoon is coming, and the pineapple has not fallen!

This passage made me laugh, is this in recognition of pineapple?

There's a lot of mess on the balcony to clean up, hurry up!

But the comments section is even funnier, they are most concerned about the pineapple is ripe, why echo why not eat it. Yes, if you eat it today, you can't get the first commendation from your master when he comes home!

Off-topic, I would like to say that a "north balcony" in such a hot place as Shenzhen is more suitable for trying a variety of plants.

If the south balcony is more illuminated, I am afraid that the green plant wall will not live too well, or it will be necessary to change a batch of plant varieties, or if the evaporation is large in the summer, the existing water cycle of the plant wall will be re-planned.

When you see those online articles, reports, beautiful photos, and start to be eager to create a balcony garden, I suggest that we still read echo's own garden diary.

Based on this, I continue to analyze this small garden in depth from a semi-professional point of view.

Authentic north balcony

With a pinch, can you fry a dish?

This description... I couldn't argue with the amount of food, the cooking, the taste, and the echo didn't say that anyway.

From sowing seedlings to tomato harvests?

This operation... In theory, spontaneous seedlings have strong environmental adaptability, and seed cattle X plus careful breeding environment can achieve a large harvest.

But Echo himself said that he bought tomatoes for small seedlings, and did not mention sowing. And 9 hours a day of full-spectrum irradiation has a rapid expansion result.

In her messages to fans, she also mentioned that she had also failed, and she often went to physical stores to buy seedlings, and some of them also carried fruits.

Organic fruits and vegetables that never fertilize or medicate?

This idea... Whether it is gardening or agronomy, fertilize and medicate, remember.

The soil will deteriorate rapidly without fertilizer at all, so let the insects eat the fruit without spraying.

The organic fruits and vegetables I understand are planted on a piece of unpolluted water and soil, using chemicals in moderation and all produced with organic fertilizers, and finally having a good appearance, taste, and no residual chemicals.

To name the chemicals mentioned by echo: small white medicine, carbendazim, water milk insecticide, huaduoduo no. 1, huaduoduo no. 2, Aolu slow-release fertilizer. Echo has never said no fertilizer and no spraying, and has been promoting how to fertilize and spray correctly.

From the full-spectrum fill light 9 hours a day, coupled with the warm climate of Shenzhen, her tomato can always be in the growth period, so it must meet the plant's needs for fertility.

Sheep manure, cow dung, bone meal, these organic fertilizers have been skillfully applied by echo. The next step is for her to challenge the grapes, which are more watery and fat...

Full-spectrum fill light

Diligent echo

This is a young man full of positive energy, actively looking up information on the Internet, learning to use it, and began to ask the owner of the Taobao shop how to fertilize the plants a few years ago. She pesters plants by hand, sprays, sprays, and hangs sticky boards.

Some fans asked her that her tomatoes absorb water quickly and do not water for two days. She replied directly that the tomatoes on the balcony are watered every day, and based on experience, it is concluded that you can water many potted flowers with an airbrush every day, saving time and effort.

Faucet for watering flowers

The style of the north balcony

From a design point of view, in fact, there is no style, even floor tiles, wall tiles and green walls are not matched.

At a glance, it is a typical domestic gardening enthusiast's flowery and green dress. Unlike foreigners, they also pay attention to seasonal collocation, cold and warm color tendencies.

Of course, I don't like to raise flowers so pretentiously, and I don't like the cold Japanese.

Flowery north balcony

My belief is that raising well is more critical than matching well!

It is more important to experience the vitality of nature from the flowers and plants!

It is recommended that friends who like it must use a small book to write down the types of green plant walls:

White palm, red palm, happy tree, snapdragon, evergreen, ruyi, mugwort leaf, green apple arrowroot, wen bamboo, rice bamboo, various arrowroots, ferns, orchids, dendrobium and peppers.

In addition to the key points of building a plant wall described by Echo, I would like to remind everyone in particular: load-bearing!

One is the endurance of your balcony and wall, and the other is the plant varieties raised in the three-dimensional pocket. Echo is relatively light!

Even the fruit trees she raises strictly control the material and size of the pots!

The most comfortable home

For a plant, the most comfortable place is the greenhouse.

Echo once introduced that she wanted to arrange the north balcony in the way of imitating the greenhouse. Therefore, measures such as fill lights, screen windows, floor drains, etc. are planned during the renovation. She also uses a thermohygrometer and light meter to monitor these environmental indicators.

Some people commented that this is not built with money?

First of all, let's not talk about whether he understands gardening or not, but I agree with echo's way of spending money.

She spent the money on making the plants comfortable, not in a vain decoration. She spent her money on enriching plant varieties and studying planting methods, rather than on some kind of automatic water-absorbing pot and universal nutrient soil.

—— 3 ——

Echo repeatedly answered on the Internet how to control the light and temperature of water and soil, but some people said that these things are too repetitive every day.

In fact, you think of raising flowers as cooking, it is easy to understand, each cooking video will talk about the heat, knife work, seasoning, every time is onion, ginger and garlic stir-fried to make the aroma, these are not annoying?

But to omit these things when it comes to a dish is to be perfunctory, and many nuances exist in these skilled steps.

Raise a pot of plants, to do every day of the little care.

Hope her North Balcony Garden gets better and better!
