Plants on Rotation for Homes in Ahmedabad

Plants placed near a window that catches direct west or south sun are rotated out sooner than plants in a shaded corner, since Ahmedabad's light through most of the year is intense enough to scorch a plant that would sit comfortably in the same spot in a cloudier city.

Flowering plants brought in during the cooler months, November to February, when the average high sits near a gentler 30°C, tend to hold their bloom longer indoors than the same varieties brought in during peak summer.

Air conditioning changes the swap schedule too

A home that runs air conditioning for most of the day dries the air around its plants the way an office does, and that dry air, on top of Ahmedabad's own low dry-season humidity of around 20 percent, is often the actual reason a rotated plant declines before its month is up rather than any fault in the plant itself.

Floor height changes which plants a rotation plan sends up

A flat on a higher floor, further from any shade a neighbouring building might offer, often gets stronger, more direct light through a single large window for longer through the day than a ground-floor flat in the same tower, and the rotation plan for the two is not identical even within one building.

Ground-floor flats, by contrast, are more likely to sit in another building's shadow for part of the day, which suits a broader range of foliage plants that would struggle on an unshaded higher floor.
