Hot Sunny Conservatory

Plants which will withstand the conditions in a hot south facing conservatory. Even these will need some shade from midday sun, and ample ventilation. An unventilated, unshaded conservatory will be too hot for any plants (and people). In this case, plants are better off outside or in a cooler part of the house.
