House plants do not need to be confined to the living room or kitchen – if you choose your plants right, you can enjoy the beauty of living vegetation in your bathroom, too. Bathrooms being areas that get lots of moisture and usually less natural light than other rooms, the plants used there need to be able to stand up to those unique challenges – here are some plant varieties that fit the bill:
- Spider plant – these plants thrive very well in moist environments and they are also great for purifying the air;
- Orchids – these beautiful, delicate tropical flowering plants are considered to be sensitive and difficult to maintain. However, their need for moisture makes them great for bathrooms;
- Bamboo – this evergreen perennial is synonymous with harmony and tranquility. They love moist air and they need very little attention, so they work great for bathrooms. Bamboo comes in many varieties, so you can choose the size and color that best fits your space;
- Gardenias – these flowering plants also originate from tropical areas, therefore they can grow well and bring lots of flowers in your bathroom. They prefer stable temperatures, therefore they thrive best in bathrooms used for cool showers, not for steamy hot baths.
