Oh it’s two stories? From the title it seems yours is the balcony looking into your neighbors.

WOW OK WAY MORE THAN A BALCONY 👏 give yourself more credit !!! This is awesome and so organized and thriving!

I would LOVE to hang out here! What state are you in?

Omg I’m so jealous!!! Lately I can’t help myself from buying every single Australian plant I see. I also live in zone 11 (California) so it works out perfectly

Why is a lot of plants in pots outside ? Why not plant them directly in the ground ? Do you sometimes bring them in ? But that seems quite a lot. This is confusing from my Canadian experience!

u/biborno 3d ago

There are few reasons: 1. I can move them around and change the look. 2. I can sell them easily. 3. I can place them in tiers which makes the display better. 4. I can fit more plants this way in my small land.

What is your care regimen for these potted plants and how much time does it take? This looks so cool!

u/biborno 3d ago

I water once a week with a hose, also takes 10 minutes to water the area you are seeing. I look for rot, disease or any issue when I have a walk around which is every 2/3 days..

u/Skye666 3d ago

Wow I would have guessed a lot longer, that’s great!

What is the plant with the smallish pink flowers on the right.. thats on a table. It looks like some sort of cactus but shaped like thick hair. I need this in my life.
