It will need frequent watering too, I have them in my garden and they are very thirsty..........

if it is the grey leaf form it will tolerate some dryness. if its the tall scarlet maltese cross type it would be better in the soil. but they both like full sun.

If you mean the grey leaved one which produces those dark pink flowers, then it'll be fine on the balcony. all grey leaved plants love sun. Give it a decent sized pot and enjoy.
