HOUSEPLANTS FOR BATHROOM
BATHROOM PLANTS- With low maintenance and Less care
Why have plants in the bathroom?
The benefits of having plants in the bathroom are that they absorb moisture and can make your bathroom look gorgeous.
Indoor plants add elegant decor to the bathroom whether it is a hanging bathroom plant or any other air plants in the bathroom.
What is the best plant for a bathroom?
The bathroom plant that can thrive in humidity and low lighting conditions should be the main consideration while choosing your bathroom plants.
Toxicity and being safe for pets are other factors too.
So feel free to choose any of the houseplants listed in the bathroom plant ideas.
1. ORCHID
An orchid will add elegance to your bathroom.
This plant when taken care of blooms some lovely flowers that stay long.
Orchids are seen in a tropical climate, so steamy and humid conditions are good enough for orchids to grow.
A shower shelf or a place with a small window is the best place for orchid plants to grow in the bathroom.
A stream of thin natural light is all they require.
2. GOLDEN POTHOS
Pothos, in general, tolerates high humidity, and irregular watering.
In short, pothos can beautifully survive anywhere.
This can be grown in low light conditions and is a fast-growing vine.
The best part of keeping golden pothos is that they could be hung from anywhere or kept draping anything you wish.
Pothos also removes air toxins and keeps the bathroom air clean and fresh.
3. NEON POTHOS
Similar to golden pothos that grow fast in moisture conditions.
Easy to care for and leaves are brighter than golden pothos.
Neon pothos also tolerates a variety of lighting conditions and loves humid weather.

5. PEPEROMIA
Peperomia likes it warm and steamy and that’s what makes it a sustainable bathroom plant.
However, peperomia requires sufficient sunlight every day.
So place it in a bright place.
Occasional watering is okay with peperomia.
You need not care much, only admire its beautiful leaves.
6. BOSTON FERN
Boston fern-like other houseplants for the bathroom would also grow in moist conditions.
The Boston fern is a subtropical plant that would easily grow in a wet bathroom.
This houseplant absorbs excess humidity from the bathroom and hence needs to be taken extra care of during winter seasons so that the air does not dry up, leaving it hard for the plant to survive.
Needs moderate lighting conditions though.
7. MOTHER-IN-LAW’S TONGUE
This is one of the popular bathroom plants.
Its long slender leaves add beauty to our moist bathrooms.
This plant too can withstand high humidity and low sunlight.
Over-watered bathrooms and natural humidity will not be a problem for the snake plant.
It also removes toxins from the air.
8. ALOE VERA
Medicinal usage of the aloe vera plant is well known as immediate relief to cuts and burns.
Aloe vera juices are also widely used for healthy skin and hair.
This is a succulent that needs fairly less amount of water and sunlight and thrives well in humidity.
It is a hardy plant that is almost impossible to kill.
Aloe vera plants are also good at absorbing moisture and can survive both high and low light conditions.
9. DRACAENA
It requires high humidity levels, so the bathroom is the perfect place for Dracaena to grow.
This houseplant can also thrive in no bright sunlight. So you can beautifully place it on the window sill.

Thanks for the awesome tips! We decided to buy a house with a super old bathroom. We've been making a lot of updates, including a hardwood floor resurfacing. We're just about ready to get started decorating and we really wanted to use plants. Your tips have helped us feel confident in that decision. Thank you so much again.
