heat and atmospheric moisture

 The need for medicinal plants to heat varies according to the environment in which they originated. For example, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and tea need high temperatures. As well as basil, coffee, chili and cocoa, It does not grow in cold regions

While plants that grew up in cold regions, such as rhubarb, digitalis, pine nuts, black mustard, and German iris, are only successful in cold regions.

There are temperate plants, such as the plants of the Mediterranean basin, such as willow, celery, saffron, chrysanthemum, sugar, Adons, almonds, olives, and camphor. These need a hot, dry climate, warm summers, and rainy winters.

Some plants need both heat and moisture, such as tea, ginger, galangal, turmeric and hemp, While the other prefers hot, dry weather such as aloe vera, bitter melon, acacia, wormwood, Hyscyamus muticus, cinnamic, and henna

Exposing plants to different conditions of temperature or humidity different from their environment leads to a decrease in the concentration of active substances in them

There is another group called short-day plants that do not bloom if they are exposed to long periods of light, such as Nicotiana tabacum

There is another group of plants that grow under any circumstances and are called neutral plants. These plants are affected by other internal factors such as temperature and hormones.

The intensity of lighting also has an effect on flowers, some of which need direct sunlight, such as bitter melon and cactus, and some that need indirect or less intense light, such as black pepper and coffee.
