Explore Seasonal CareUnderstanding Seasonal Transitions
Each season brings unique challenges and opportunities for terrace plants. Our approach focuses on working with nature's rhythms rather than against them.
Spring Awakening
As temperatures rise, terrace plants begin their growth cycle. Proper preparation ensures healthy development throughout the season.
Summer Flourishing
Peak growing season requires consistent care, appropriate watering, and protection from intense sunlight.
Autumn Preparation
Gradual transition prepares plants for colder months. Strategic pruning and protection measures are essential.
Sustainable Protection Methods
Natural Materials
Using burlap, wood chips, and natural fibers provides effective protection while maintaining aesthetic appeal. These materials allow proper air circulation and gradually decompose, enriching the soil.
Strategic Placement
Understanding microclimates on your terrace helps position plants where they'll thrive. Wind patterns, sun exposure, and moisture levels vary significantly across small spaces.
Seasonal Adaptation
Plants that adapt well to seasonal changes require less intervention. Selecting appropriate species for your climate zone creates a more resilient terrace garden.
