The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and your plants are looking fresh and healthy—that’s what we do it for, isn’t it? But to keep the green friends in your garden or on your balcony happy, it is important to give them a spot where they feel at home. But how do you find that spot? Don't worry, we are going to help you with that. Read on for everything you need to know about finding the ideal spot for your outdoor plants.

Determine the Position on a Sunny Day

A clear spring day is the ideal moment to determine where the sun shines in your garden. Take some time for yourself with a good book or a nice drink and set a timer at different spots in your garden. Here is how you can determine the following:

1. Less than 2 hours of sun? Then you are dealing with shade.
2. Between 2 and 4 hours of sun? This is partial shade.
3. More than 5 hours of sun? This is full sun.

Make a Garden Sketch

Now that you know which part of your garden gets the most sunlight, it is time to put it on paper. Draw a circle for the areas with full sun, partial shade, and shade. This helps you choose plants that best suit the hours of sun your garden or balcony receives.

Choose the Right Plants

With the information from your garden sketch in hand, you can go on a targeted search for plants that suit the location of your garden or balcony. In our range of outdoor plants, you will find a selection of plants that thrive best in full sun, partial shade, or shade. This ensures you choose plants that will grow well in the spot you have selected for them.

Finding the ideal location for your outdoor plants can take some work, but it will be worth it when your plants develop and thrive.
