Top Bathroom Plants

Bathrooms offer challenges in terms of what houseplants to put in the area. However, bathrooms also offer great opportunities for houseplants that may not do well in other areas of your home. For example, a bathroom usually will have higher humidity levels from showers and baths; therefore a houseplant that requires higher humidity levels will do very well in a bathroom without you having to mist it.


In order to choose the best houseplant for your bathroom you have to consider the environment your bathroom offers. Most importantly is lighting. If your bathroom has low light levels, which many do, be sure to choose a plant with low light requirements. Like mentioned above, many houseplants require high humidity levels, therefore do not choose a plant that does not like high humidity levels.


Listed below is my list of the best houseplants for bathroom environments:
Chinese Evergreen
Bamboo Varieties
Spider Plants
African Violets
Snake Plants
Aloe Vera Plants
Boston Fern
Peace Lily
Dieffenbachia
Pothos
Heart-Leaf Philodendrons
Prayer Plants

Do you have any recommendations for plants in an interior office with no windows? I have overhead lighting which is on most of the day during the week. It's fairly dry in here as well, but not overheated.

I have a Croton, which is dropping leaves (I think it needs more water!), but perhaps there's something that would be better suited.

Thanks!

Hello,

Unless you get some actual plant lights, I would say plants are not going to do well in an office without any natural light.

Sorry!

Hullo, I had a baby palm plant in my kitchen. The poor thing was almost dead when i moved it to my main bathroom. Now it is 2 feet tall and stretching out. Loves being near the shower. Gave it some food. Water once a week. And it seems to be just a humming a long. :o))
