What type of house plant should one get for a small balcony with full western exposure to the sun?
Question:
Answers:
You can go to your local nursery, they can help you decide.
You don't say where you are located, so I don't know the growing zone or whether these plants will be outside on the balcony during spring/summer/fall or year-round. Plus you don't say how high from the ground you're located, so I don't know the amount of wind your plants will be subjected to or temperature differential.
If you are getting a lot of strong sun in that location, you can probably go with something like geraniums if you want flowers. Bromeliads or cactus to withstand direct sun and high temperatures would be a great choice if you're looking for easy-low maintenance plants.
If you add more details to your question I can answer your question better.
Succulents (but watch for frost or get frost hardy ones), yuccas, cordylines (again look for frost hardy ones if frost is an issue). There are new cordylines that are clumping and look like flax, and come in burgundys etc, they look beautiful in coloured glazed pots.
