"Add more moisture to tropical ones by misting frequently or stand the pot on a saucer filled with gravel and a little water. Keep temperatures warmer for desert plants. Cyclamen and Azaleas are not happy in high temperatures, though African violets, Steptocarpus (Cape primrose) and Poinsettias are. Tough foliage like Yucca, Palms and Aspidistra are better in cooler rooms," the article added.
