Turn your balcony into a perfect relaxing place
Fill your balcony with nature

Hanging flower pots are surely perfect for a green vertical garden. If your balcony is small, hanging flower pots can do their best for decorating purposes. You should choose compact and minimalist designed pots for a more stylish terrace. 

Moreover, there are some other plants suitable with your balcony such as jasmine and bulbs. Even bedding plants and houseplants can also be grown in your outdoor area. I have a bird of paradise in my balcony and it turns my balcony into a relaxing place.
