At Nivtop Creations we are often asked what are the best Indoor Plants for a Florida Summer.
Florida summers are hot and humid, which can make it difficult to keep indoor plants alive. However, there are many beautiful and low-maintenance plants that can thrive in these conditions. Unlike most of the country Florida has some of the most tropical weather that can be experienced. For some plants, the hot and humid weather can be good. For other plants the very dry, conditioned air of interior spaces can be a death sentence.
Here are a few of our favorite indoor plants that can handle the fluctuating temperatures and humidity changes of your buildings entryway, foyer, lobby, or reception area:
Aloe Vera is a hardy plant that is resistant to both heat and drought. A bonus is its medicinal properties; many Florida residents know this plant is handy for soothing sunburns, cuts, and other skin conditions.
Snake Plant is another drought-tolerant plant that is perfect for Florida summers. It is also known for its air-purifying abilities, which can help to improve the quality of the air in your home.
