What to do if it's hot outside the window, and the room is also not comfortable. Only the air conditioner saves, but it only helps people, but what about indoor plants?
Cactus other succulents in such conditions they also feel uncomfortable. And this is a completely erroneous opinion to believe that heat is not terrible for such plants. No, of course, they will not die, even if they are completely deprived of moisture. It's just that such a cactus will spend all its energy on its hydration, using its internal reserves, what kind of beauty and flowering are there. So all succulents need due attention, do not leave the soil dry and periodically feed. Still, these plants are resistant to high temperatures, but what about others?
Some flowers can disappear completely in extreme heat. It is believed that the window on the west side is the safest, but even here it can be tough if it's hot outside. Indoor plants in the summer must be shaded, regardless of which side the window is on. A little time is enough and exposure to sunlight with high temperatures will do its bad job.
If possible, you need to remove the flower in the shade by taking it out into the street. During the hot season, plants that bloom require special attention. Even a tropical origin, some of them, will not help them painlessly endure high temperatures. You can put a flower on a so-called wick made of water. Or just place coarse sand, pebbles, clean moss in the pallet and fill everything with water.

Plants that do not bloom at all and belong to decorative leafy, it is necessary to spray twice a day. It is important to do this with flowers that require increased moisture (chamedorrhea, for example). If the flower is deprived of additional moisture (spraying), then soon the leaves will turn brown, ugly in shape with dry tips.
It is better to wrap dark pots containing plants with foil, so the ground will heat up less. For feeding it is better to use in summer mineral fertilizers provided that feeding will be carried out only after two hours from watering, this is a must!
If there is an air conditioner in the room, make sure that cold air did not harm the plants, it is not necessary for it to fall on the flowers.
And yet, in the dry summer period, the activity of all sorts of pests... it aphid, scabbard, spider mite other. It is necessary to periodically inspect all plants and take action in case of unpleasant moments.
