If you plant your loggia, you bring spring, summer and autumn to the balcony and can enjoy the seasons in the countryside from home. You can find out below which plants are suitable for which loggia and how to plant to save space.

Almost anything will thrive on loggias with partial shade

Think space-saving

Loggias are often not particularly large. But even on small balconies you don't have to do without numerous blooming beauties. Here are a few ideas on how to plant to save space:

  • Balcony boxes (€109.00) on the railing
  • attach individual flower pots to the wall with nails or screws
  • Plant side walls with climbing plants
  • Let hanging baskets hang from the ceiling
  • Plant vertically with Euro pallets (€29.99).
  • Fill stepladders with plants
  • Vertical green walls e.g. made of planting bags

What to pay attention to when planting and caring for the plants on the loggia

The location requirements of plants differ and must be observed. If you plant a plant that needs sun on a shady balcony, you will hardly enjoy it. You should also pay attention to sufficiently large planters and matching saucers to protect the soil from moisture. After heavy rain, the coasters are to be emptied.

The most beautiful plants for the loggia

As I said, the right site conditions are essential for the plants to thrive on the wooden balcony. We have therefore divided the selection of plants according to the lighting conditions on your loggia:
