Adding plants to your
bathroom is a good idea, but is also an excellent way to pamper your
bathroom. Bathrooms are oftentimes the perfect environment for tropical
houseplants. Their typically low light and high humidity are ideal for many
houseplants. Let’s look at plants for your bathroom, even plants for a bathroom
with no window.
What to Look for in Bathroom Plants
Light
The best bathroom plants have low light requirements. Many bathrooms have small or no windows. While low light plants can live on little light, they do need some. Make sure that your bathroom fixtures use fluorescent light bulbs, as fluorescent produce the wavelengths of light that plants need from the sun.
Water
With plants for your bathroom, you want plants that thrive in a humid and moist environment. While many succulents need low light, high humidity will kill them and, therefore, they would not be happy in a bathroom.
Location
Because bathrooms tend to be small, placing plants on the floor is often not an option. Most bathroom plants will do well on a shelf or hanging from the ceiling. If your bathroom has a window, a window sill is good as well.
