Hi @Piyumi,
A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's fantastic to have you with us.
Your balcony's exposure to gentle morning sunlight makes it a welcoming environment for a wide variety of plants.
For hanging greenery, Boston Fern is an excellent choice. Its lush, arching fronds thrive in partial light and create a full, tropical feel.
Dichondra 'Silver Falls' offers a lovely silvery cascade that looks especially striking when draped over balcony railings.
If you’d like to add colour to your hanging displays, Calibrachoas produce vibrant, petunia-like flowers and perform well in morning sun conditions.
For potted colour, New Guinea Impatiens are ideal. They bloom continuously with minimal fuss and enjoy a balance of light and shade.
Begonia Elatior also adds striking blooms in shades of red, pink, and white, and performs well in partly shaded containers.
You can further enhance the visual appeal with cool-toned flowering plants like Lobelia or Bacopa, which are great for adding delicate, cascading accents to baskets and pots.
To introduce bold foliage, Coleus offers dramatic leaves in a variety of colours and patterns, thriving in areas that receive filtered or dappled sunlight.
If parts of your balcony are more shaded, Pothos Devil's Ivy is a reliable trailing vine that tolerates low light while adding lush greenery and a cascading effect to containers or wall-mounted planters.
To care for your balcony garden, be sure to use a high-quality potting mix with good drainage, such as this Scotts Osmocote Premium Plus Superior Potting Mix. Water regularly, particularly during warmer months, but avoid letting the soil stay soggy. leaning toward the light.
With these choices, your balcony can become a vibrant retreat filled with colour, texture, and lush greenery.
Let me know what you think, and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Jacob
