I have a balcony on raised ground floor with lots of trees hiding the sun. In the summer I get a few hours of direct sunlight, not enough to get anything flowering. I attempted growing tomatoes, and ended up with the tallest, most useless plant ever. Strawberries were also mostly leaves. There is a planter integrated on the balcony design though, which is nice.
Is there anything with fun leaves I could grow ? Preferably low maintenance and resistant to low temperatures. (not necessarely frost resistant, though better)
Edit: I also generally can’t keep stuff that flowers, hence my request.
I have actually managed to kill mine with mould (?) I should give it another try, but that last one put me off a bit.
Good luck.
Water it less, maybe?
All I know about plants is second hand from my wife but I know too much water enables mold to grow in the pot
So many bad decisions were made with the aromatic plants, from the spot they were in, to the soil, the pot… it was doomed to fail.
If I remember correctly, I had three different ones, one dried, one developped mould (spider nest level of mould around the stems of the plants) and one root rot . keep in mind they were next to each other and watered the same. I still don’t know how I managed that.
You could have made a textbook example of that, just don’t tell people it’s based on real life, they wouldn’t believe you.
