Neighbours overlooking your balcony? Try these 6 plants for a natural privacy barrier

Balconies can feel exposed when surrounded by neighbouring buildings, but the right plants can create a natural privacy screen while adding greenery. Bamboo, areca palm, bougainvillea, star jasmine, clumping bamboo palm and Rangoon creeper can all help create visual separation. Depending on the space and sunlight, tall plants can form a leafy barrier, while climbers can be trained over trellises and railings for added coverage.
