The maximum temperature for most plant species grown indoors is 24 ° C; for some it is even lower – do 20°C;
– przechłodzenie, as a result of persistently low temperatures or excessive temperature differences between day and night. It occurs most often in winter. Lowest permissible ambient temperature for sensitive plants – left, anturia, of -fenbachia – is 16 ° C, for delicate plants - royal beggonia, narrow-leaved begonia, koleus, her daughter, Peperomia, reo, kroton (three-case), pandan 10…13°C, for hardy plants – ivy, gale (argument), monster, platycerium (flat), rojcissus, sansevieria, tore 8°C, for hardy plants, who do not like higher temperatures in winter – room clone (hybrid damask), to die, cacti, fatsjob, Fats (fatshedera), triple 2 ° C;

Long-term lack of light causes the disappearance of chlorophyll and tissue death;
– mała wilgotność powietrza występująca w pomieszczeniach z grzejnikami centralnego ogrzewania. Plants not adapted to such conditions shed their leaves, buds, they dry up;
– nadmierna przewiewność, especially cool air in the space between the door and the window, which causes drying up most often, supercooling or freezing of plants;
– brak składników pokarmowych; it is the cause of poor plant development, poor coloring of leaves and flowers;
– przedawkowanie nawożenia, causing the edges of the leaves to dry up (dry brown spots on the leaves), sometimes the plant runs out or stops its growth;
