  • Experts warn that south- and west-facing windows expose houseplants to scorching rays, urging relocation into indirect light or shaded zones.
  • Homeowners should increase watering frequency and check soil moisture before watering to prevent stress in high temperatures.
  • Liquid fertilizer should be applied weekly from June through autumn to provide essential nutrients during the heatwave period.
  • Regular leaf cleaning removes dust buildup, enhancing photosynthesis and overall plant health during prolonged warmth.
  • For an extra boost, plants can be placed outdoors in a warm, sheltered spot to benefit from fresh air and natural light.
