Light is an essential element for the life of a plant because, in the moment of deciding the place for it, it is necessary to keep in mind the sunlight or artificial lighting.  However, the excess of light can cause burns and necroses that will affect the plant's growth.  In the opposite case, if a plant has too little light, it will wilt.

It is recommended to turn the plant regularly, so that it receives the same light on all sides.  One useful piece of advice is not to ever put a plant that has been in the shade or partial shade directly in the sunlight, as it can burn the leaves.  As a general rule, if a plant needs between 12 and 16 hours of light daily, when it doesn't get a sufficient amount, the alternative solution is artificial light.  There are incandescent lamps that imitate natural light and are very practical in certain cases.

The ambient temperature and humidity are also key factors in the life of a house plant. For example, the lack of humidity is made evident when the plant turns yellow and the leaves fall off, at the same time, it will stop growing and shrink in size.  To resolve this problem, it is good to vaporize the foliage daily with pure water and, if it is not possible, what you should do is fill the pots with peat moss, as it maintains the atmospheric humidity.

In some cases, the presence of fountains or vases of water can maintain constant humidity that is sufficient for the plants. In terms of temperature, we can say that in normal conditions, a plant needs an environment that varies between 12 degrees in winter and 24 in summer.

As a general rule, house plants have less evaporation, so they require less water, except when the heating provokes excessive dryness.  Plants that need less watering during vegetative dormancy are deciduous, bulbous, rhizome, tubed, succulent and completely dormant plants.
