With Verdeia, discover a selection of robust, graphic, and decorative plants designed for urban outdoor spaces. Create a soothing, green, and lively atmosphere, even in the heart of the city.

Plant arrangement ideas

Whether your space is a long balcony, a rooftop terrace, or an inner courtyard, every square meter can become a genuine corner of nature. Combine textures, volumes, and colors to create a harmonious and lively decor.

Mediterranean atmosphere: olive tree, lavender, rosemary, and grasses in terracotta pots.

Tropical style: banana plant, alocasia, or monstera for a touch of urban exoticism.

Relaxation corner: aromatic herbs and fragrant plants to accompany your moments of rest.

Contemporary ambiance: black or gray fiber pots, structured foliage, and modern silhouettes.

Tips for city living

Optimize space: hanging plants, wall planters, and shelves to multiply levels of greenery.

Create privacy: climbing plants and large foliage to form a natural screen.

Play with light: mix shade and sun plants for balance throughout the day.

Take care of containers: choose light and durable pots suited to your exposure and style.

Maintenance tips for balconies and terraces

In urban environments, potted plants require a bit more attention, but the result is worth it. Here are some simple steps to keep them vibrant all year round.

Provide effective drainage with clay pellets at the bottom of the pot.

Water regularly but not excessively: stagnant water is the enemy of roots.

Protect from wind fragile or tall species with discreet supports.

Maintain foliage to stimulate growth and flowering.

Add a natural mulch to keep the substrate cool in summer.

Decoration & ambiance

Plants are the best allies of a welcoming balcony or terrace. Pair them with simple accessories — string lights, outdoor rugs, colorful pots — to create a soft and warm atmosphere.

Arrange plants of varying heights to structure the space.

Alternate green plants and blooms for a dynamic effect.

Use matching pot covers with your furniture for visual harmony.

Add a touch of comfort with a bench, an armchair, or a small outdoor rug.

FAQ — Verdeia balconies & terraces

Which plants to choose for a south-facing balcony?

Opt for sun- and heat-resistant plants such as lavenders, bougainvilleas, rosemaries, or dipladenias. They tolerate strong exposures well.

And for a shaded or north-facing balcony?

Favor partial shade or light shade plants: ferns, hostas, ivies, or calatheas will bring beautiful greenery even without direct sun.

How to protect my plants in winter?

Group them against a wall, elevate the pots, and cover the more fragile ones with a winter veil. Hardy plants like bamboo or pittosporum resist cold very well.

How to maintain my pots and containers?

Clean them regularly to avoid limescale, empty saucers after rain, and check drainage before each new planting.
