key factors to consider before starting your balcony garden:
🌞 Sunlight Exposure
Assess how much sun your balcony gets daily:
Full sun (6+ hours)/ Partial shade (3–6 hours)/ Full shade (<3 hours)
💨 Wind & Rain Exposure
High-rise balconies can be windy, which dries out plants and damages delicate foliage.
🏗️ Weight Limit & Structural Safety
Most HDB and condo balconies have weight restrictions (typically 1–2 kN/m²).
Avoid overloading with heavy soil, large pots, or stone features.
🚫 HDB & Condo Rules & Regulations
HDB Guidelines:
You can grow plants on your balcony, but no permanent structures (e.g., wooden decks, fixed planters).
Plants must not obstruct walkways or common areas.
No soil-based gardening directly on floor (to prevent mess and pests).
Use containers with drip trays.
Condo Rules: Check with your MCST—some restrict plant types, pot materials, or hanging items.
💧 Watering & Drainage
Singapore’s heat causes rapid evaporation—plants dry out fast.
Consider:
Self-watering pots or drip irrigation systems (ideal for busy owners).
Ensure all pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot.
Use drip trays to protect flooring and prevent water from dripping to lower floors.
🌱 Plant Selection
Choose plants suited to Singapore’s climate and your balcony conditions:
Edibles: Kangkong, chilli, Thai basil, eggplant, okra, dwarf lemongrass.
Herbs: Mint, parsley, coriander, lemongrass.
Ornamentals: Peace lily, snake plant, spider plant, hibiscus, frangipani.
Avoid invasive or fast-spreading plants (e.g., wild vine).
🪴 Container & Vertical Gardening
Maximize space with:
Stackable pots, railing planters, wall-mounted vertical gardens.
Use modular systems (e.g., felt pockets, stackable towers).
Ensure containers are UV-resistant (plastic can degrade in sun).
🐝 Pest & Mosquito Control
Stagnant water attracts Aedes mosquitoes.
Prevent breeding:
Empty saucers after rain.
Use sand or pebbles in trays to break water surface.
Apply organic pest control (e.g., neem oil, sticky traps).
Avoid chemical pesticides to protect pets and pollinators.
🛠️ Maintenance & Accessibility
Choose low-maintenance plants if you’re busy.
Ensure easy access for pruning, harvesting, and watering.
Schedule time for weekly care—especially in hot weather.
🎨 Design & Aesthetics
Create a cohesive look with matching pots, colours, and layout.
Add fairy lights, small furniture, or a mini water feature for a relaxing vibe.
Include seating if space allows—turn it into a green retreat.
