What is a good grow medium?

What flowers and plants grow well in a place with a medium amount of sunlight?

  • I live in an apartment and my balcony faces north and is surrounded by big trees. It does get some sunlight but not a lot. I don't want fake plants. What's my best bet for plants and flowers that will survive in this condition.

  • Answer:

    Gerbera Daisies flourish in a partly to mostly shade environment. They like well drained soil that won't retain moisture for long periods of time and they don't like to be watered very frequently either. Their flowers last for weeks if not months and if you don't over fertilize them they'll produce new flowers all season long. Growing them from seeds, however is no task for beginners so I'd recommend choosing plugs, starters or clones for your plants. But with all the amazing colors to choose from, who couldn't resist. I love them for cuttings to, especially the 9" Californian varieties.

It depends on if you want annuals or perennials. Annuals on a balcony are probably your best bet. Gerbera daisy's like the other person said are good, also impatiens are great in shade and fuchsias which are gorgeous. You can find impatiens and fuchsias in baskets at least where I live you can. All three of these flowers have wonderful colors, hope that helped. Oh, you can also buy smaller pots of these or flats and make your own arrangements in larger pots and baskets.
