Temperature Regulation for Indoor Plants

Depending on the individual plant different temperature and humidity levels are

recommended.  But in general, plants don’t like it too hot, too cold, or too dry (with

certain exceptions of course).  Finding and keeping a balance is important to the survival

of your plants.  To make it easier on you, the gardener, select plants that thrive in similar

conditions weather conditions.

Consistency in temperature is important to plants.  Once you find the ideal temperature,

try and maintain it daily.  It is okay for the plants to be colder at night time; this is natural

as the same happens outside in nature when the sun goes down.  An average temperature

range is 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit (18-23 degrees Celsius) during the day and a drop in

temperature to 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit (15-18 degrees Celsius) is acceptable.  As this is

within the temperature range most houses are kept at this should not be hard to maintain.

You may be tempted to place a plant beside a sunny window to keep it nice and warm. 

Just remember that exposure to extreme temperature ranges is not good for a plant.  It can

get overheated during the day and then too cold at night.  Give the plants natural sunlight

but doing so on a windowsill is not recommended.

Inside a house is a lot dryer than outside.  A lot of plants like at least some moisture in

the air.  Controlling the humidity in the house will help the plants and you if it tends to

get dry inside.  You can purchase a mister or humidifier for your house or another option

is to get the plant’s leaves wet.  By taking a spray bottle, you can lightly spray the leaves

or you can use a cloth or sponge.  Take care of any special instructions your plant may

have, some do not like to get their leaves wet.
