Plants are a great way to add life, quite literally, into a room. However, when using plants as decor in a bathroom, we start to encounter problems since most bathrooms don’t have a lot of sunlight coming through. Even so, you’ll find that there are plants that can adapt to different environmental situations with some research. Below are just some of the many plant options optimal for a bathroom. |
One of the easiest plants to take care of, heartleaf philodendrons are very accepting of most environments and make great plants for your bathroom. They can be grown in either water or dry soil and thrive in almost any light setting except for indirect light. However, those with more diversity of colors — white or yellow flecks on their leaves — require more light.
Also known as “Mother-in-law’s Tongue,” snake plants need very little light and are drought-resistant. In addition, they purify air and continue to produce oxygen even at night whereas other plants will oxygenate and emit low-levels of carbon dioxide in the absence of light.
Similar to snake plants, ZZ Plants are champions of tolerating low-light conditions and are drought-tolerant. They are known to be very hard to kill — many people have reported that their plant was still alive even after months of neglect. ZZ plants also help purify the air of toxins.
Earning its name from its appearance, the string of pearls plant is a succulent. Like most succulents, it does best in direct sunlight. As such, this plant would do wonderfully if your bathroom had a windowsill where it can perch and drape its cute “string of pearls.” However, if you live in a location that does not have a lot of sun, the string of pearls can also survive under a fluorescent light during the day.
Incredibly flexible plants, almost all varieties of ferns are low-light tolerant since they can survive in a broad range of light conditions like the philodendron plant. However, ferns such as the Crispy Wave Fern prefer a more humid environment, and as such, would require more frequent watering than the other plants on this list.
