Observe the actual light at different times of day and choose plants suited to it. Wind can dry containers and damage tall plants; secure supports and loose objects.
Confirm allowable load with the building manager and a qualified structural professional before adding heavy containers. Wet mix, water and plants all add weight. Keep access and drainage clear.
Start with a few accessible pots with drainage holes. Check plant labels for mature root space and light needs. A starter kit can simplify supplies, but site assessment comes first.
