Not only are our bathrooms the haloed spot for rejuvenation and pampering, they are also a sanctuary for lush plants to thrive, giving rise to an opportunity for a unique indoor garden. Given the fact that some house plants thrive in humidity, makes them ideal for the warm, damp atmosphere of a bathroom.
Important considerations when choosing house plants includes:
- Moisture
- Air Flow
- Light and Heat
- Plant Food
Here are some of our favourite house plants you’ll find thriving in any and every corner of your bathrooms.
Delicious Monster
The consistently damp, warm air and the light pours in between the trees of a miniature monstera plant in your bathroom. They are wonderfully fuss-free and can climb throughout the surrounding bathroom surfaces. Monster plants are best grown around a moss or a coir pole in medium to bright indirect light at temperatures from 12 to 27°C.
Palms
Palms like bamboo palm will flourish in the humid corners of a bathroom with medium to bright indirect light. A slow growing plant when reaching up to 3 metres, it will grow in temperatures from 15 to 26°C.
From China and Vietnam, this evergreen palm produces dark-green fans of blunt-ended leaves from upright canes. Make sure to keep an eye on the pot though, so you can water when the upper compost feels dry.
Peace Lily
Peace Lily is one of your bathroom’s best friends because of its ability to absorb mould and mildew, which too can thrive in warm and damp places.
But, like the bamboo palm in your bathroom, monitor the soil of your Peace Lily so it doesn’t become soggy so that mould doesn’t start to grow on the plant’s soil. Keep Peace Lily in bright, indirect light at temperatures from 18 to 24°C.
