Hi everyone,I’m keeping my bonsai on a balcony in the Netherlands (see photo). The wind here can get quite strong, and my wisteria already lost many leaves because of it. I’m looking for practical ideas to reduce wind damage while still letting enough light through.Constraints:

• Rented place → I can’t drill into the walls/railing.
• Prefer removable / lightweight solutions.
• Balcony is open on one side, so very exposed to gusts.

Has anyone found effective windbreaks that work well on balconies? Any tips would be much appreciated!Many thanks !

 

Water water and more water. Stand it in a bowl of water all summer.

I am not sure drowning the trees will prevent wisteria from wind damage.

In Sweden almost every rental company offers glased balconny for a small increase in rent. That would be the best solution. Except for providing protection from the wind it can also be closed in the cold months and prolong the growing season.

Maybe check with your landsort?
