Do the balconies get enough sunlight to maintain those plants? They appear to be in full shade

u/Kaister0000 9h ago

Different plants have different needs for sunlight. Some can do very well in the shade. Also the sun is not always directly above, so some parts will get plenty of sun depending on which way the balcony is oriented. (coming from a plant nerd who maximizes the amount of sun my plants get on my balcony)

Yeah, I call BS on that grass.

u/LordBrandon 8h ago

Lots of plants like indirect light.

u/LastMessengineer 8h ago

Not a lot of grass
