Balcony Garden Woes: Finding Hope for Winter Revival.

Coming back to my balcony garden after being away for some time was a bittersweet moment! I couldn't believe my eyes, how once a colorful garden turned into a lifeless corner.

I was so sad and worried, blaming myself but there was nothing I could do. In the last couple of weeks, I have been away to attend my sister-in-law's wedding. I placed all my plants on the balcony including the indoor ones so that rain the revive them.

Unfortunately, without regular care, most of my plants look like they can't survive. It’s a little disheartening to see the empty pots. I’m optimistic but also worried thinking how much I can do to make it colorful again.


Let's start with the good one.

Jasmine and Lily are the only hope left. They are still thriving. There are a few flower buds in the jasmine. And the lily is growing so well, even I couldn't take care of them in the last few weeks.

My Golden Pothos also growing fine. But look at the vase. The beautiful swan head is gone! The house cleaner accidentally broke it. Now I have to find a cute vase to replace it.

Also, the aloe vera is looking great.

The butterfly pea plant and the local spinach seem like they gave up. I'm not sure how much I can turn them or revive them.

With winter around the corner, I’m hopeful to breathe life back into my little green space.

The snake plant also seems doing well. But they all need active cases as they look a little dull at the moment, just like my photography - they are out of focus. lol


You see how there's a flowering plant left. If you are following my gardening post, then you would know that I had a few different flower plants and they were blooming beautiful colorful flowers.
Unfortunately, most of them are gone.

The good thing is that I’ve kept some seeds preserved and plan to buy a few new plants to restart the garden. Winter is a good time for flowering plants in my region.

All my moss roses are gone. I'm planning to buy a few varieties and colors to bring back life to my garden. This time, I’ll try to make sure my garden not only survives but thrives through the colder months as winter plants are more resilient to nature.


An indoor garden means a battle of survival to me. But in general, gardening needs a lot of patience and resilience, doesn't it?

My garden may look dull at the moment. I'm hopeful the journey of regrowth and care will make it lush green and colorful again.
