decide whether or not to nip it off...

I have house plants in four different rooms. The house is kept at
temperatures that are comfortable for my wife and me.

In the winter, that's 72F in the daytime and 65F at night. (We use an
electric blanket on our bed.)

In the summer, the airconditioner is set for 78F in the daytime and
usually off at night (with upstairs windows open while we sleep).
However, we usually don't turn on the airconditioner until outside
temperatures are in the mid-90s because our house just stays cool.
