Why Bathrooms Work

Bathrooms give higher humidity and often bright indirect light from a frosted window -- ideal for humidity-lovers that scorch in dry living rooms.

The List

  1. Boston Fern -- loves steam.
  2. Peace Lily -- droops when thirsty, bounces back fast.
  3. Spider Plant -- tolerant and airy.
  4. Pothos -- trails happily on a shelf.
  5. Calathea -- showy leaves that love moisture.
  6. Hoya -- waxy leaves and humidity-loving.
  7. Chinese Evergreen -- tough and pretty.
  8. Fittonia (Nerve Plant) -- thrives in damp air.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My bathroom has no window -- can I still?

A:

Add a small grow light; most of these tolerate low light but not none.

Q: Do I water less in a steamy room?

A:

Usually yes -- humidity slows soil drying; check before watering.

Q: Will mould be a problem?

A:

Good airflow prevents it; crack a window or run the fan.

A humid bathroom is a plant paradise. Place them well with the light calculator.
