The selection of plant species to cultivate in outside home spaces should be based primarily on their ability to cope with the harsh conditions of the urban environment, such as high wind and irradiance, lack of organic material and nutrients, and intermittent drought (Pavao-Zuckerman 2008). In Mediterranean climates, the hot late spring/summer days can raise soil temperature in the pots to even reach 40-50°C and air temperature 30-35°C , so it is advisable to use shade cloth or shading vegetation on the scaffolding to avoid burning roots and shoots of the plants so laboriously cultivated.	./cache/cord-333518-67md81fq.txt	./txt/cord-333518-67md81fq.txt
