Of course, to form a winter garden on the balcony open where the temperature is no different from the outside temperature, it's just silly. High-quality glazed balcony, even without additional heating, will not allow the air temperature in the created winter garden to drop below + 5 ° С. On such balconies, you can successfully grow decorative conifers
, which at this temperature fall into "hibernation" without losing the decorative effect of their crown. 
Before purchasing plants for landscaping a balcony, you need to think about airing the apartment. Some cultures do not tolerate drafts well, therefore, when growing them, you will have to abandon the ventilation of the apartment by opening the balcony glazing. To do this, it is better to open vents or windows in other rooms.
If in winter period the temperature on the balcony rarely drops below + 5 ° С, and its periodic warming is possible. For landscaping such a balcony, you can purchase chlorophytum(Chlorophytum comosum) 
and pelargonium zonal(Pelargonium zonale), colloquially called geranium.

and palm tree "Washingtonia"(Washingtonia filifera) capable of withstanding short-term frosts. 
The central place in the winter garden on the balcony can take different kinds camellias. Some types ( Camellia sasanqua or Camellia amplexicaulis) are capable of being stored at a temperature of -5 ° C. If the lowest range of winter temperatures is 0 ° С ... + 5 ° С - these conditions can be considered optimal for the winter keeping of some species of camellias. In the photo camellia:

a cyclamens(Cуclamen) are able to bloom at a daytime temperature of 10 ° C ... 15 ° C, calmly enduring a night drop to + 6 ° C ... + 8 ° C. 
In the pre-winter period on the shelves flower shops appear heather(Calluna vulgaris) and various species Erica(Erica). Outwardly, they look like small shrubs, abundantly decorated with flowers - bells. Their flowering can continue in winter, and if it stops, the shrubs on the balcony will not lose their decorative effect. In the photo, heather is handsome: 
Low evergreen shrub hebe(Hebe) is still little known among Russian amateur gardeners. Most of the subspecies of this plant ( Hebe gibbsii, Hebe canterburiensis or Hebe venustula) when grown on a balcony in decorative culture, without any problems tolerate lowering the temperature to -5 ° C ... -6 ° C. Today, it is increasingly used in landscape design backyards and garden plots, and in the winter garden on the balcony for him you can create ideal conditions...

... But they need a temperature of at least 15 degrees. 
There are many other types of decorative and garden plants and colors suitable for winter landscaping of the balcony. When growing them, certain rules must be followed.
It has been noticed that a number of plants that perfectly tolerate wintering on outdoors, unexpectedly die when grown in closed room balcony where more comfortable conditions growth.
This is caused by two reasons - excessive watering and hypothermia of the root system... In winter, the soil under the plants only needs slightly moisturize, observing the minimum watering. 
Hypothermia of the root system usually occurs in plants whose homeland is the tropics, where the soil does not freeze to the entire depth of the roots. In a balcony culture, a small soil lump in volume can freeze completely in a pot, which will cause hypothermia of the roots and death of plants.
To avoid this, outside the surface of the box or flowerpot can be insulated with foam or do not allow the balcony temperature to drop to minus values.
It is also very important to create that climate in the winter garden on the balcony, which would be suitable not only for plants, but also create a beautiful atmosphere. Then you will be happy to bring your guests or friends to your winter garden on the balcony and tell about your hobby.

To create a bright island of greenery, which is not lost against the background of the building, but is in harmony with the colors of the facade, it is important to choose and correctly place flowers on the balcony.

It is desirable to provide such supports in the structure even at the stage of building construction. For tall houses there is an unwritten rule: hang containers only inside balconies, which is associated with safety issues. This method also helps to protect flowers in case of gusts of wind, downpours.
Preparing boxes for planting plants consists in forming a layer of fragments of flower pots or expanded clay on the bottom. Drainage covers the holes that are necessary for the release of excess water and respiration of the roots. Then comes thin layer washed sand, better than river sand. Top two lower layers fall asleep potting soil not reaching 2 cm to the edge of the container. This precaution is needed to prevent soil from being washed away by rainfall or watering.

and drought-resistant species suitable for monochromatic and variegated plantings. Popular in balcony options floriculture ivy (Peltatum), forming bright cascades of flowers in summer. Pelargonium withstands hot sun, and in a semi-shaded position does not suffer from its lack. Marigolds are grown in boxes; this is an undemanding, light-loving and drought-resistant species that is not demanding on the amount of substrate.
Limited volume of soil in boxes, increased evaporation in summer, washout nutrients when watering - the most actual problems pursuing balcony floriculture... Plants after planting in boxes and containers must be watered regularly, it is better to mulch the soil so that it does not dry out on the surface. Excessive watering is also harmful, it leads to waterlogging, a decrease in gas exchange and soil temperature, a slowdown microbiological processes... Nutrient stores are dwindling and need to be replenished regularly to meet different needs certain types plants. Suitable mineral, organic, complex fertilizers with macronutrients for garden, balcony and indoor flowers, which are available in specialized trade pavilions. Detailed instructions according to their use, they are usually attached to packages with nutritional liquids, powders and other forms. Top dressing is applied with watering once a week or every ten days. With the help of a mild wooden peg, loosening is carried out, at the same time dry leaves are removed and inflorescences that have lost their decorative effect are cut off, preventing the formation of seeds, which weakens the plants.
In balcony floriculture are used different options: boxes, containers and pots are placed on the floor, reinforced on the balcony fence, wall. Metal, bamboo and wooden fixtures for placing pots and containers with flowers, hooks on which the planter is hung. Annuals, biennials and perennials are planted in boxes. For climbing plants you need to choose ways to support the stems, given the rapid growth of most of them. A rich palette of colors of flowers and leaves, decorative fruits, endurance, and unpretentiousness are the main criteria for choosing forms and types of plants for balcony floriculture.
Plastic or wooden boxes With beautiful plants decorate the balcony themselves. Such containers are in good harmony with wicker chairs, a folding table and a small umbrella on the balcony. The desired coolness, shade, fragrance of flowers and a riot of colors create an atmosphere conducive to serene relaxation.

Light for plants is the most important factor growth. Therefore, you need to make the most of daylight... It is important to achieve the optimal balance between temperature and light. Here the rule is that the higher the temperature is required for the plant to grow successfully, the more light it should receive.
In winter, this rule is violated. There is too much heat coming from the batteries and the daylight hours are short. Because of this, the plants shed their foliage, continue to grow and stretch strongly in height. For thermophilic plants, sunlight will certainly not be enough.
But there is a way out - artificial lighting... You can buy regular fluorescent lamps and attach them to your balcony ceiling. Choose the most economical option, otherwise the winter garden will cost you a pretty penny. How many lamps you need depends on the number of plants. There is no strict rule here. Even the most experienced gardeners in the beginning they always watch how the flowers behave. If the flower does not like the temperature, you will immediately notice it by its changed state.
Natural ventilation
