    What to sow and plant in Dubai in a given month or season, plus what is flowering, fruiting or ready to harvest, the month's verdict, tips, watch-outs and the climate. Defaults to the current month in Dubai. Also returns that month's indoor-plants block (what to buy, pot up and care for indoors) unless you filter to another group.

    The starting point for anything about houseplants and indoor plants in Dubai: choosing by light (low, medium, bright indirect, direct sun), by room and for pets; what air conditioning, tinted glass and dry air change; where to buy and what it costs; how care changes through the year; common problems; and our indoor styles, with every plant linked. Ask for one section (light, rooms, pets, dubai, year, buying, problems, styles, faq) or all of it, and add a month for what to buy and do that month. Then shortlist with search_plants (light, petSafe, room, size) and read one plant with get_plant.

    Everything about one plant in Dubai: ratings, size, sun and water, seasonal calendar, watering in summer and winter, soil, feeding, pruning, pests, common mistakes, varieties, design use, FAQ, photos with credits and sources. Houseplants also get an "Indoors in Dubai" profile: light, tolerance of dry air and air conditioning, pet safety, size, suitable rooms and how easy the plant is to find. Accepts a slug or any name the plant goes by (common, trade, botanical including older names, Arabic, or a local name in its own script or Latin letters); the result lists them all under "Also known as".

    Search and filter the library of plants rated for Dubai's heat, salt, drought and shade: by name (English, botanical, Arabic or a local name such as Hindi or Tagalog), category, sun, water need, minimum tolerance ratings, use, garden style or planting month. For houseplants and questions like "low light, pet friendly plants for a Dubai apartment", filter by light (low, medium, bright-indirect, direct-sun), petSafe, room and size: those four filters return only plants with an indoor profile (light, tolerance of dry air and air conditioning, pet safety, size, rooms). Returns short profiles with links; call get_plant for the full one.
