The reason? Small planters dry out faster and retain far more heat in comparison to other pot sizes. Also, you leave little scope for the plant to grow as the roots can expand only to a limit (which is very small). So, step three of good balcony decoration ideas with plants is to bring the medium to big-size pots for healthier buddies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_your_Buddies_Healthy\"><\/span><b>Keep your Buddies Healthy\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like a parent takes care of their children, you have to look after your plants.
