Potted plants in high numbers on a balcony require adequate support. You should also check your pots every few years to ensure that the support is still stable. You may well be better off with a wooden planter rather than many different potted plants. Flowers have more space in the planter and so are sure to grow better. When planters are identical and arranged linearly they can act as a decorative frieze. In modern minimalist design identical containers are often placed in a row. In lieu of flowers you can use hedges or straight grass.

When it comes to potted plants you need to be careful when you have limited space. These plants also grow more slowly than those in a garden and rarely reach their full potential size. Now and then you must transplant these plants to a bigger container and change the soil when you do so.
