8 Plants That Will Thrive In Your Bathroom

Houseplants have invaded several parts of our houses, we have it in our living room, our kitchen, our bedroom, and we may even have one in our office as well. But, moreover, there is also one more place where some of you may not have discovered placing them yet but is actually a really great place to put our houseplants to. That is the BATHROOM! 
Just because you don’t spend most of your time here doesn’t mean that this place can just be plain and boring. Putting a plant in your bathroom can liven up the area. Plus, it gives off a spa-like vibe and makes you feel relaxed. In addition to that, the bathroom is also an excellent environment for your plants to grow and prosper. The warmth and humidity that this gives are just what plants are looking for. Also, one great thing about placing them in bathrooms is that if you need to provide them with water, it’s easily accessible.

1. Peace Lily 

From the name Peace lily, You might think that this plant is a true lily, but it's not because it comes from the Araceae family and not Liliaceae. The peace lily is a plant known for being low maintenance and also a tolerant plant. They are great air-purifying plants, houseplants in the bathroom, and any other part of the house. These plants love indirect light, and they usually are only grown inside the house, so a bathroom with a window that gets a decent amount of light is a perfect location. The peace lily enjoys great showering but also wants to be left to dry as well. 

2. Bird's Nest Leslie Fern

Another plant that would liven up your bathroom when placed there. Maybe called Asplenium Nidus sometimes but is commonly known as Bird's nest fern because it looks like a bird’s nest, especially when it grows large.

3. Tillandsias 

The air plants are a great addition to your houseplants in the bathroom. They prefer to be placed in a soil-free hanging pot or globe. They also do not need too much sunlight, so there is no need to worry if your bathroom only has a small window. Placing them in an area where they get direct contact with sunlight might cause the leaves of your air plants to burn. The ideal placement is within a foot or two of a window or artificial light source.

4. English Ivy

The English Ivy is a quick trailing plant that can either cover the ground or your wall wherever it is placed.
