Indoor Plant Stress Responses

FAQ About Indoor Plant Stress Responses

How does temperature affect indoor plant stress?

Temperature extremes can stress indoor plants significantly. Most houseplants thrive in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Temperatures outside this range can impede growth, lead to wilting, or cause leaves to fall off. Sudden temperature changes, such as drafts from windows or heating vents, can also shock plants. Maintaining a consistent and suitable temperature range helps alleviate this stress.
