Optimum temperature
Indoor plants need a constant temperature, so you should avoid strong temperature variations. Drafts and window frames where they are exposed to cold are equally harmful. Indoor plants grow conveniently at a temperature of 20 degrees approximate, with some exceptions such as cyclamen, which prefer a cool temperature of between 10 and 15 degrees. Some like blue senecio tolerate even lower temperatures.
Ideal lighting
Most indoor plants need lots of light, although some species (mainly plants bushy green leaves) prefer shade. Flowering plants or species of striped or mottled leaves only adapt to a very bright place. Direct sunlight (the noon) in summer is bad for all house plants, except cacti and succulents. In winter, a little ray of sunshine cannot do them harm.
