How To Keep Plants Cool In Summer

It's summer and your plants know it. Some plants can be incredibly expressive when the temperatures start to rise, showing droopy, shriveled or curled foliage. Others may be more discreet with the occasional leaf drop, which, if not addressed, can quickly turn into the dreaded daily leaf drop.
Here are some ways you can keep your plants cool during the summertime heat:
Mist often! Misting not only provides extra humidity but it also creates some air flow around the plant. This is a great practice whether or not you have AC installed in your home.
Use a fan. Similarly, a fan will keep up the airflow in a hot room, and some plants will even enjoy a light breeze just like in their natural habitat!
Bottom water. Plants are thirstier in the summer. Quench that thirst by occasionally bottom watering, or removing your plant from its ceramic planter and letting it soak in a couple inches of water for up to 24 hours.
