What to look for when planting and caring for the plants on the loggia
The location requirements of plants differ and must be observed. Anyone who plants a plant in need of sunshine on a shady balcony will hardly enjoy it. You should also pay attention to sufficiently large planters and suitable coasters to protect the soil from moisture. The coasters must be emptied after heavy rain.
