Terrace gardening can be a great way to grow your own plants but many people make mistakes that lead to poor results.

Not using proper drainage can drown your plants; always ensure pots have holes for excess water to escape.

Choosing the wrong plants for your climate can lead to failure; research which plants thrive in your area.

Overwatering is a common mistake; make sure to check soil moisture before watering to avoid root rot.

Neglecting sunlight needs can stunt growth; observe how much light your terrace gets and select plants accordingly.

Failing to use quality soil is a rookie mistake; invest in good potting mix for healthy plant roots and growth.

Ignoring pest control can ruin your garden; regularly check for pests and use organic methods to keep them at bay.

Not rotating plants can deplete soil nutrients; change plant locations each season to maintain healthy soil.

Skipping regular maintenance can lead to chaos; spend time pruning and organizing your plants to keep things tidy.

Lastly, rushing the process can backfire; take your time to learn and enjoy the journey of terrace gardening.
