Outdoor Plants — Urban Jungle for Balconies & Terraces

Welcome to the Verdeia selection dedicated to outdoor plants: varieties suited for balconies, terraces, patios, and windowsills, designed for urban living. Here, you will find resistant, graphic, and easy-to-care-for plants, capable of thriving in full sun as well as in partial shade, facing wind or heat. Transform your outdoor space into a true soothing and inspiring urban jungle.

Choosing Well According to Your Exposure

In the city, orientation and reflection (light walls, glazing, asphalt) influence plant growth. Here are some tips to choose species adapted to your environment.

Full sun (south / west)

Favor Mediterranean or drought-resistant plants.
Use large and well-drained pots to avoid water stagnation.
Tip: add a mineral mulch to limit evaporation.

Partial shade or light shade (east / north)

Ideal for decorative foliage and tropical plants.
Choose varieties tolerant of indirect light and sheltered spaces.
Tip: combine light and dark foliage to create contrast.

Wind, heat, and heat island

Opt for plants with thick foliage or flexible habit.
Group pots to create a protective microclimate.
Water at the end of the day to avoid rapid evaporation.

Winter and temperature variations

Choose hardy plants if your space is not sheltered.
Elevate pots to avoid frost and protect roots with a winter cover.

Decorative Association Ideas

Mediterranean atmosphere: silver foliage and bluish blooms for a bright terrace.
Compact jungle: large graphic leaves combined with airy grasses.
Flowering balcony: fragrant plants and prolonged blooms for a lively and colorful touch.
Mix height and volume: a main plant surrounded by lower and hanging varieties.

Care Tips for Outdoor Plants

Draining substrate: mix potting soil, perlite, and clay pellets for good water flow.
Regular but measured watering: let the surface dry before each watering.
Repotting: use a slightly larger pot to encourage root growth.
Fertilizer: fertilize every 3 to 4 weeks during the growing season.
Summer protection: create light shading during periods of intense heat.
Pruning: remove faded leaves to stimulate regrowth and maintain a nice shape.

FAQ — Outdoor Plants in the City

Which plants for a south-facing balcony?

Choose heat-resistant species like lavender, rosemary, agapanthus, or oleander. Mulching helps keep the soil cool.

How to protect my plants from the wind?

Create sheltered areas with natural screens or group your pots to stabilize them. Choose flexible or creeping varieties.

Can I leave my plants outside all year round?

Yes, if they are hardy. In winter, protect the roots and avoid stagnant water to prevent frost.

Which pot to choose for outdoors?

Choose a perforated and stable pot, ideally made of insulating material (terracotta, fiber, or resin). Ensure good drainage and a suitable saucer.
