Assess the weight capacity of your terrace. Ensure it can bear the load of pots, soil, and water.

Decide on the types of plants you want—vegetables, flowers, herbs, or ornamental plants.

Consider sunlight exposure on your terrace; different plants require different amounts of sunlight.

2. Waterproofing and Drainage

Ensure your terrace is waterproofed to prevent leakage.

Use drainage trays under pots to collect excess water.

Create a slope for water runoff to avoid stagnation.

3. Choose the Right Containers

Use grow bags, clay pots, plastic pots, or raised beds depending on your space and budget.

Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot.

For vertical gardens, install wall planters or hanging pots.

4. Prepare the Soil

Use a mix of garden soil, compost, and cocopeat for better aeration and nutrition.

Add organic fertilizers like vermicompost or cow dung manure regularly.

5. Select the Right Plants

Vegetables: Tomatoes, chilies, spinach, carrots, beans, lettuce.

Herbs: Basil, mint, coriander, thyme, rosemary.

Flowers: Marigold, hibiscus, roses, petunias.

Ornamental Plants: Money plant, snake plant, succulents.

6. Set Up an Irrigation System

For easy maintenance, install a drip irrigation system.

Alternatively, water your plants in the early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation.

7. Protect Your Garden

Use shade nets for delicate plants during extreme summers.

Keep organic pesticides (like neem oil) handy for pest control.

Protect plants from strong winds using bamboo trellises or windbreaks.
