House Plants May Not Bloom In Room Too Hot
Homemakers note their plants fail to bloom when kept in rooms with high temperatures. Larry Grove of Iowa State College says flowering potted plants form buds around 65 degrees Fahrenheit, and higher temperatures suppress bloom. After buds set, daytime temps can rise to 70 degrees, while at night temps may fall to 55 or 60 degrees since leaves do not produce food in darkness.
