A few beginner-friendly plants
Good first choices while you learn your balcony's conditions:
Money Plant (Pothos)
Tolerates low light and irregular watering — the most forgiving starting point.

Aloe Vera
Needs very little water; rots faster from overwatering than neglect.
Marigold
Fast-growing, sun-loving, and a good gauge of how much light your balcony gets.
