Lavender
Lavender
Lavender is one of the most famous aromatic plants that we plant in pots and is a basic plant found in every garden on a balcony. There are many reasons to plant lavender in a pot, as apart from its beauty it is a plant with multiple uses. Lavender grows best in sunny locations on the balcony and is drought tolerant. We prefer a balcony with south or west exposure so that our lavenders have good growth and flowering. We plant lavender in deep pots with a diameter and height of at least 30 cm, as lavender has a strong root system that goes deep and shows rapid growth.
Lavender has low water requirements, while overwatering can cause root rot, especially if water is not properly drained from the pot. We water the potted lavender every 5 days, during the spring and autumn, and every 3 days during the summer. In terms of fertilization, we incorporate 2 tablespoons of complete compost every month from early spring to late fall to promote growth and flowering.

Strawberries are the ideal fruit for novice gardeners of all ages, as they don’t require too much care, can be grown in a pot or in a flower bed, and each plant gives us enough fruit. The strawberry plant is a perennial and herbaceous that spreads on the ground and climbs. The strawberry has a central stem, of low height, from which the leaves, flowers and fruits that are formed in spring and summer emerge. Strawberry cultivation lasts about 3-4 years before the productivity of the plants starts to decrease significantly and we will have to replace the crop by planting new strawberry plants to ensure new strawberry plants.
