1. Succulents

Tiny and cute, succulents are everyone’s favorite plant. If you’re a beginner and want to start slowly growing a balcony full of plants, buying a few succulents is probably the best way to do it. Being super easy to take care of, a succulent doesn’t require too much effort or daily watering. Up in their leaves is a water reservoir that helps them “drink” enough water throughout the day. Watering them only once a week is more than enough to have healthy and happy succulents.

You’re not entirely sure if your succulents need water. Check the soil with a finger to see if it’s dry before watering them again.
