Urban gardening
Plants on the balcony and terrace
Ideas for balconies for self-catering
In the middle of the city - in the middle of the countryside
What started as lonely green spaces on balconies has now grown into a real movement: people dig, plant and harvest in all sorts of places in the city. The urban gardening trend brings a piece of nature back into the city and is also super easy to achieve. All you need is a small growing space, a passion for homegrown plants and a little creativity. The
versatile pots from LECHUZA are the ideal partner for growing vegetables, herbs or snack fruit. The different surfaces fit perfectly with romantic city balconies or natural roof terraces.
LECHUZA - the right pot for every plant
Herbs and vegetables in the balcony planter
With a few simple steps, your city balcony turns into a green oasis. There is a suitable planter for even the smallest space, which impresses not only with its aesthetic appeal, but also with its integrated irrigation system.
Lettuce and herbs, as well as cocktail tomatoes and radishes, thrive in the BALCONERA Stone balcony planter. The LECHUZA balcony planter brackets provide a stable stand and can be extended with an extension piece for ample trellis spacing.
In general, the larger the plant, the larger the root volume and the greater the need for water and space.
The harmoniously round CUBETO planter creates small herb gardens that not only fit on balconies and terraces, but also provide a spicy touch at the table during your next barbecue. Useful plants are optimally cared for, following nature's example, and the removable overflow screw on the planters protects against water flooding during heavy rainfall.
Want fresh herbs without repotting? Then the small CANTO Stone 14 planter cube is the perfect choice! Thanks to the practical rod watering system, the herb pot, which is placed directly in the planter without repotting, is optimally watered.
PON - The mineral plant substrates from LECHUZA
Healthy growth starts at the root
VEGGIEPON - the perfect growing medium for vegetables and herbs.
The nutrient-rich special VEGGIEPON substrate makes urban gardening easy! The peat-free composition of mineral and organic components ensures optimum harvest results. The growing medium ensures optimal root aeration and thus prevents waterlogging and root rot. The substrate, consisting of lava, coco peat, biochar and vegan fertilizer, is 100% vegan and provides vegetables and fruits with sufficient nutrients.
Sour, juicy citrus plants thanks to CITRUSPO.
This special substrate provides optimal root aeration and waterlogging protection for your citrus plants.
Iron and calcium ensure abundant yields and healthy leaves.
The addition of red lava not only creates a Mediterranean look but also retains heat, which citrus plants love. This will guarantee a bountiful harvest next season!
What grows on the balcony or patio?
Delicious things from the hobby garden
When establishing your urban garden, the most important question, of course, is what you want to grow. Leaf lettuce or arugula are suitable even for beginners and last all summer: if only the outer leaves are harvested, the plant continues to grow vigorously and provides a constant supply of vitamins. Trendy mini berry bushes or small citrus trees, planted in eye-catching natural stone pots, transform any space into a relaxing green space. Vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and zucchini are also ideal for planting in pots. Regular fertilization with common fertilizers accelerates the growth process and ensures a bountiful harvest.
Sow your own or buy plants?
The method of cultivation is up to you. Seeds offer the advantage of a much wider choice and are cheaper than seedlings. However, seedlings are less sensitive and require less effort to grow.
Gardening can be so easy
Ready - Wait - Snack
Gardening has nothing to do with a boring front yard; it's totally hip! With little effort, you can transform your patio or balcony into your own personal garden, even without any prior knowledge, and you can rearrange it over and over again.
And the best part: fresh raspberries and lemons add spice to water and lemonade, and sweet, homegrown strawberries taste even better. Perfect for a lovely summer afternoon!
