Each plant, and this includes houseplants, has its own requirements in relation to LIGHT. Not many plants will survive if exposed directly to the full sun and it often causes blemishes to their leaves. In general, foliage houseplants need less light than flowering plants or succulents.
The Home Garden has a light source which supplements natural light and allows for a better development of the plant

Another important factor is the TEMPERATURE. In general, houseplants thrive in ambient temperatures which we ourselves find most comfortable, so in daytime, room temperatures of between 18 and 25 degrees and a slightly lower temperature at night-time.
The cooler night-time temperature allows the plants to recuperate moisture lost during the day, intensify its colours and prolong the life of any eventual flowers. The thing which can be most damaging to a plant is an unexpected change in temperature. The Home Garden maintains a constant microclimate, protecting plants from sudden drops in temperature

Most houseplants, unlike many succulents, originate from tropical areas, which are not only hot, but also very humid. Whilst watering the potted plants obviously increases the HUMIDITY of the potting compost, it is much more difficult to regulate the humidity in the air. The problem is most evident in the winter, when central heating inevitably brings with it a drop in the humidity in the air.
The Home Garden is equipped with a vaporizing system, which allows you to increase the level of humidity inside

The POT is the item that allows us to cultivate plants within the home. Pots should be sufficiently large to contain a clod of earth which will accommodate the plant's roots and it will need holes in the base in order to allow drainage and the aeration of the compost. Pots are made from a wide choice of materials: they can be made of classic terracotta or of modern resins, minimalist plastics or decorated ceramics.
The pots which come with the Indoor Greenhouse are light but robust. They have been specifically designed to be placed within the glass and steel structure. Their elegant form and neutral colour intended to harmonize with whichever plant you decide to cultivate. Holes in the bottom of the pots allow the aeration of the compost and the drainage of excess moisture, which is collected in a specially designed outer pot which can be removed
