Plants For Bathroom
Have you ever thought of having a plant or two in your bathroom? If you have - very good. If not - perhaps it would be time to give it a try. I often have fresh cut flowers in my bathroom, just a tiny bouquet or a branch of eucalyptus. Small thing but cheer me up a lot. Now I want to have a plant in my bathroom. Actually this idea came from a client of mine, who said that it would be lovely to have some leafy green plants in their bathroom. Having a little greenery will certainly spice up your decor as well as help purifying the air.
Here are some tips what to consider when choosing plants for bathroom.
Choosing The Place For Plants
To keep your bathroom functional and practical consider placing the plants on top of a shelf where the branches can hang down nicely. A great idea is to use hanging baskets for the plants and place them on the ceiling. You can easily adjust the height so that the basket doesn’t disturb and you don’t hit your head every time you take a shower. Small plants look nice on shelves and by the sink.

Much of nature’s flora thrives in the low light, humid environment of a bathroom.
Ivy - it can scale the walls or metal pipes framing the tub. You can even hang it up high and let the leaves droop down.
Fern - it naturally grows I the outdoor equivalent of a bathroom. Low light and high humidity are the exact conditions for it. You can easily grown a beautiful plant with very little maintenance.
Hoya - it has a bit thicker waxed leaves and is easy to maintain as it doesn’t need watering very often. It also blooms with small white flowers.

Fresh up your bathroom with scented plants such as gardenia and Madagascar Jasmine placing them on the windowsill.

No worries even if your bathroom doesn’t have any windows. There are still option to place some greens there.
Spider Plant - it will continually sprout new buds that you can re-pot easily. It removes impurities from the air in the moist environment.
