Ivy is not a good friend of masonary, especially stucco... within a
very few years, by the time it's established, the ivy will cause the
stucco to crumble and fall off your building. Ivy is also a terrific
bug magnet, it you enjoy skeeters eating you alive on yur balcony go
for it. Um, have you considered a fresh coat of paint... and perhaps
a few hanging baskets of annuals


Just for fun I did an image search to see what people were doing with
hanging baskets on balcony's and this came up..

Anyone know what the plants are in it? Not 100% sure of what they are.
