During summer heatwaves, balcony temperatures often soar to 40°C, posing severe challenges for plants. Many suffer withered, yellowed leaves or even complete withering under such extreme heat. To protect these vulnerable green lives, effective measures like selecting proper shade nets and using GreenShip HomeOasis Self-Watering Flower Pots are essential.

Ⅰ. Shade Net Selection  

(I) Material

Shade nets primarily use polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or nylon.

PE nets: Soft texture, high light transmittance, effective UV blocking; ideal for delicate plants (e.g., succulents, pothos).

PP nets: High strength, wear-resistant, long-lasting; suitable for sun-tolerant plants (e.g., sunflowers, cacti).

Nylon nets: Superior toughness and tensile strength, tear-resistant.

(II) Shading Rate

Optimal shading rates range between 50%–70%:

>70%: Insufficient light for photosynthesis, stunting growth.

<50%: Inadequate cooling effect.

Practical selection:

Shade-loving plants (e.g., monstera, areca palm): 60%–70% shading rate.

Light-demanding plants (e.g., jasmine, Milan): 50%–60% shading rate.

 (III) Installation  

1. Ensure air circulation between the net and balcony railings/ceiling.
2. Fix nets securely using stainless-steel wires or plastic ropes.
3. Maintain flat, stable positioning to prevent wind damage.

Ⅱ. GreenShip HomeOasis Self-Watering Flower Pot Recommendation  

(I) Functional Principle  

Utilizing siphon-controlled water technology, the planter’s cotton wick draws water from its reservoir, allowing continuous moisture supply.

Refill water in 3 seconds; no watering needed for 30 days.

Prevents root rot caused by improper watering.

(II) Material & Design  

Material: Stone Composite Material—sturdy, anti-aging, fade-resistant.

Style: Minimalist designs (Classic/Nordic series) to complement home aesthetics.

Patent design with unique texture—ideal for quality living.

(III) Usage Scenarios  

1. Balcony gardening: Maintains soil moisture at 40°C; survives prolonged absences.
2. Indoor decoration: Reduces watering frequency; harmonizes with interiors.
3. Office greenery: Low-maintenance plants (e.g., pothos, succulents) purify air.

(IV) Advantages  

Effortless: Monthly refills save time/effort.

Healthy growth: Self-regulated hydration prevents root rot/yellowing.

Universal: Suitable for indoor/outdoor plants.

Aesthetic & durable: Weather-resistant material enhances spaces long-term.

Combining scientifically selected shade nets with GreenShip HomeOasis self-watering planters creates a cool, moist microenvironment, enabling balcony plants to thrive amid 40°C heatwaves—preserving vibrant greenery in your living space.
