From London to Glasgow, more people are living higher up, setting down roots in apartments and making more of compact outdoor spaces. LECHUZA, the self-watering planter expert, reveals where balcony living is on the rise – and how to make every centimetre count. Those who don’t have the luxury of gardens must look to container gardening to satisfy their green dreams. The self-watering planter and growing substrate specialist, Lechuza, can help urban dwellers to manifest those dreams on balconies and windowsills in cities and towns up and down the country, helping them to grow-their-own and bring the bloom of nature to their outdoor spaces. Strong, stable planters like LECHUZA TRIO with matching trellis will fit neatly against a wall and enable you to neatly train plants upwards, supporting climbers and enabling you to grow vertically rather than horizontally in limited space. This is the perfect solution if you want to grow leggy crops such as tomatoes, peas or fruit bushes, bearing in mind that all these plants will need plenty of sun in order to thrive. . LECHUZA BALCONERA planters are ideal for placing over railings or tucking into windowsills and other compact areas. The self-watering system means you don’t have to worry about plants drying out during dry spells, whilst removable drainage screws enable you to drain off excess water after rainy spells. This is the perfect place to grow strawberries or salad crops if GYO is your goal, or you can fill them with flowering plants for an instant upgrade to your living space. Need more tips?
