Article: Is your balcony sunny all day long, or does it just get a few hours in the morning or afternoon? Different plants prefer different types of light, so figure out how much sunlight your balcony gets and what time of day this occurs.  Geraniums, petunias, marigolds, and most herbs love full sun.  Amethyst flowers, hostas, begonias, and hydrangeas like partial shade or filtered sun. Ceramic plant pots can be extremely heavy and will add to the weight burden of your balcony. Ask your landlord if they know the weight limit for your balcony. If they’re not sure, skip the ceramic pots and palm trees and stick to small plastic pots with flowers or herbs. It’s easy to get carried away buying a whole bunch of beautiful plants and covering your balcony in them. But if you’re just starting your balcony garden, you likely don’t know what’s going to thrive out there yet. Start with about three plants, and then add more as you have success with them. Potted plants can bring a pop of cheer to your balcony, but they also take up precious space. If there’s a balcony or some other structure above yours, figure out how to attach hanging plant baskets, either plastic or woven, to the bottom of it. Check with your landlord first to make sure this is ok. Buy special planter boxes that hang over the side of your railing. This is an easy way to add color and life to your balcony because you just mount the hardware onto the railing and then pop the plastic planter in. Just be sure these boxes are mounted securely, or you risk injuring someone below if they fall. If your balcony is right up against your neighbor’s, there are a couple of ways to create some privacy. Try buying tall plants, like bamboo plants, and line them up in small pots along the edges of your balcony. Design your own vertical garden by attaching small pots to a trellis. Then use the whole trellis to separate yourself from your neighbors. Your downstairs neighbors may not like it if you suddenly flush your plants with several gallons of water that fall onto their balcony each day. If it’s likely your watering schedule could disrupt anyone below, invest in a water ball or plant minder that holds a reservoir of water for slow-release watering.

Article: Some words which are technically compound words have become so commonplace and well-known that hyphenating them can actually make their meaning less clear. For example, "lunchtime" and "roommate" don't need to be hyphenated, as these common words' meanings are perfectly clear without hyphens. Note that in some cases, hyphens are optional: both "high school" and "high-school" are generally considered acceptable. Here is an example of compound words that don't need hyphens: I will read you a story at bedtime, but only if you correct the misprints in your book report . As noted above, except in some exceptional cases, most words with prefixes don't need hyphens and will look cumbersome if an unnecessary hyphen is added. There are too many of these "normal" prefixes that don't require a hyphen to list, but here are just a few: "pre-", "post-", "non-", "un-", "anti-", "re-", "bi-", "di-", and "de-". Here is an example of words with prefixes that  don't need hyphens: The recycled paper was strangely unaffected by the heat of the fire. When a compound word or phrase can be used as both a verb and a noun or adjective, you generally shouldn't include a hyphen if the word is used as a verb. For instance, the term "back up" can be used as a verb and a noun to mean both "to make a copy of something for safekeeping" and "a copy of something", respectively. Thus, you would write "back up" as a verb like this: "Please back up your hard disk data," and write it as a noun like this: "He is our back-up plan if the other candidate doesn't want the job."  Here is an example of a verb that doesn't need a hyphen:  Tell the repairman to fix it.   However, the same phrase can use a hyphen when it becomes an adjective: Call our usual fix-it guy, please. Some words, like "today" and "tonight", were once hyphenated like normal compound words. This is generally not done in modern writing, so you shouldn't feel any need to include these superfluous hyphens unless you're specifically trying to mimic an old-fashioned tone or style. Here is an example of words that once used hyphens but do not today: I shall meet you tomorrow at sunup when the cock crows and not one moment sooner. Though hyphens are used to construct many compound words and phrases, you shouldn't use them after adverbs that end with "-ly", like "softly", "strongly", and "deftly", and after the word "very" when it's used as an adverb. Note, however, that you can use hyphens after words that end with "-ly" if they aren't adverbs, like "family", "barely", and so on. As a reminder, adverbs are words that modify or qualify a verb, adjective, or another adverb.  Here is an example of adverbs that don't need a hyphen:The quickly drying paint was bone dry within the hour.  Note that hyphens can be used correctly after a word ending in "-ly" that is not an adverb: The little boy reached toward the friendly-looking rabbit without fear. When you use a compound adjective to compare two or more things or ideas, you shouldn't use a hyphen. This rule stems from the fact that the meaning of these types of adjectives is clear without the aid of a hyphen. For instance, you would never say that one house is "better-constructed than the other", but saying that a house is "better constructed than the other" is just fine. Here are a few examples of comparative and superlative adjectives that don't need hyphens:After the boxing match, one fighter was clearly more bruised than the other. Even the best laid plans sometimes go awry. Though it's usually somewhat rare that a person with a non-technical background might have to write at length about chemistry-related topics, it's still useful to note that the names of specific chemicals don't contain hyphens. This is true even for chemicals with long names containing multiple prefixes, like monochloroacetic acid. Here is an example of chemical names where hyphens are not needed:After adding the cyclopentane to the Erlenmeyer flask, the scientist stirred in 5 milliliters of hydrochloric acid.
