Mimic the natural cycle: Most plants benefit from a drop in temperature at night (typically 10-15°F cooler than the day
The nighttime temperature drop helps the plants recover from moisture loss and conserve energy, similar to their natural outdoor environment.
Consistency is key: Avoid placing plants near drafts, heating vents, or air conditioning units, as sudden temperature fluctuations can stress plants, causing issues like leaf drop or stunted growth.
Monitor at plant level: Place a digital thermometer at the canopy (leaf) level of your plants to get the most accurate reading of their environment, rather than just the general room temperature.
Humidity management: Temperature and humidity are linked. Warmer air holds more moisture, so if temperatures are high, you may need to increase humidity to prevent plants from drying out. Aim for a general humidity level of 40-60% for most plants.
Check specific needs: For specific varieties, always check the seed packet or plant care information for optimal temperature ranges.
