Indoor plants can be used to help style any room in the house, and the bathroom should be no exception! Not only do they look fabulous, but plants can also help improve the air quality and keep humidity down. With all indoor plants you need to choose the right environment in your house for them to thrive, so with that in mind, here are our top 5 plant picks that are perfect for the bathroom.
Spathiphyllum – Peace Lily
These elegant plants require minimal care. They do best with regular watering and appreciate the humidity in the bathroom as they don’t like their soil getting dry for extended periods of time. They also do well in limited light.
Phalaenopsis – The Moth Orchid
This tropical plant is ideal for growing in bathrooms that do not get too cold. Orchids absorb moisture from the air and, despite their delicate appearance, are an easy care and hardy plant. Water weekly in summer to encourage those beautiful blooms.
Epipremnum
A perfect plant for beginners; along with funky vibrant colours, these hanging plants are almost indestructible and will thrive in just about any room of the house. Happy in low or bright indirect light, water once a week and you’ll be rewarded with year-round foliage.
Calathea
With so many different types there is a calathea to suit just about any bathroom aesthetic. Also known as prayer plants, these evergreens love high humidity and shady spots. Make sure to keep the soil moist as they can be a bit fussy when they start to dry out.
Ferns
High humidity may be less than ideal for your hair, but ferns thrive in it, the more humidity the better! Thanks to their ability to purify the air around them these funky plants are great for keeping your bathroom feeling fresh. Mix and match different ferns to create an oasis vibe, just remember to keep the soil damp.
