How to Use Green Grow Bags for a Lush Balcony Garden

Why Choose Green Grow Bags?

Green grow bags are ideal for any city cultivator. They are lightweight, flexible, and breathable to create ideal conditions for your plants. Unlike other pots, grow bags prevent circling of the roots and hence assure better drainage. They come in many sizes from very small to quite large and thus accommodate everything from herbs through small trees.

Setting Up Your Balcony Garden

  1. Select the Right Size of Grow Bags

These grow bags can be ordered online in sizes that suit the kind of plants one is going to plant. Small ones will do for herbs and flowers, but bigger ones are needed for vegetables and shrubs. They should be solid enough to withstand the outdoors; the material used should be of good quality.

  1. Position Your Grow Bags Strategically

It saves a lot of space by arranging the grow bags vertically on shelves or hangers or merely piling them upon one another. This will save you a lot of space and provide ample sunlight for each plant. This also adds aesthetic value in the case of a vertical garden on your balcony.

  1. Quality Soil and Compost

For your grow bags, use highly organic matter-based potting mix with good drainage. If you want to provide the necessary nutrient intake for your plants to become healthy, combine compost into the mixture. Replenish your compost from time to time as it should be a routine process to avoid losing its fertility in your soil.

Taking Care of Your Balcony Garden

  1. How to Water

Grow bags need more frequent watering as compared to pots, since there may be hot weather. Water your plants either in the morning or evening. Avoid evaporation and soak the soil well, just enough not to be too soggy.

  1. Fertilizing for Growth

Feed them with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to maintain happy plants. Organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion or seaweed extract work great. Fertilize every few weeks for healthy growth and plenty of flowers.

  1. Pruning and Maintenance

Pruning regularly will also allow your plants to remain healthy in shape. Dead leaves and spent flowers removal encourages new ones. Also, always check on the occurrence of pests and diseases in your plants, and use the right treatment immediately.
