I recently moved into an apartment that features a spacious balcony, and I'm keen to fill it with plants that thrive in small pots. I live in a warm and dry climate and adore the vibrant feel of lush greenery around me. Since I don't have access to a garden, I'm looking for plant recommendations that will grow well in pots and provide plenty of leafy growth. Any suggestions?

Begonias are a great choice too! They come in a variety of colors and do well in indirect light, making them ideal for a somewhat shaded balcony. Plus, they’ll really brighten up your space!
Ferns are also a lovely option! They can add a nice touch of greenery and are usually pretty easy to take care of in pots. Just ensure they get enough humidity and shade, and they’ll flourish!
You can’t go wrong with Monstera! They’re perfect for adding big, tropical leaves to your space and can thrive in pots. Just make sure they get some indirect light, and they'll do great!
Have you considered plants like Philodendron or Agapanthus? They both can grow nicely in pots and will add plenty of greenery to your balcony. If you want something a bit unique, try Alocasia or Strelitzia for some really impressive foliage!
Thanks for the suggestions! I've heard a lot about Alocasia, but what kind of care do they need?
