# Balcony Plants

Choose balcony plants by aspect. South and west-facing Dubai balconies take brutal afternoon sun and suit bougainvillea, desert rose, portulaca, ixora and herbs. North and east-facing balconies get gentler morning light and suit areca palm, croton, jasmine, ferns and gardenia. Getting this one decision right prevents most balcony plant deaths.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I work out which way my balcony faces?

Stand on the balcony in the morning. Direct sun before noon means you face east; direct sun from mid-afternoon means west; sun overhead through the middle of the day means south; no direct sun at all means north. It takes one morning and it decides the entire plant list, so it is worth checking before you buy rather than after.

### How many plants fit on a standard Dubai apartment balcony?

A typical 2m by 1.2m balcony comfortably takes one structural plant of 1 to 1.5m, two or three mid-size pots of 30 to 40cm, and a rail planter of six small plants — roughly six to ten plants in total. Crowding beyond that restricts airflow, which raises humidity against the wall and encourages pests.

### Will water from my balcony planters annoy the neighbours below?

It can, and in many Dubai buildings it breaches the tenancy rules. Use rail planters with a built-in drip tray, water slowly enough that nothing runs out of the base, and keep planters on the inside of the railing.
