A priori, it does not seem that the bathrooms be the best place to place plants and flowers But bathrooms have very favorable conditions for some types of plants that need high humidity and little light to grow, so why not flood the bathroom with plants?
Several reasons, or rather excuses, occur to me. The bathroom is a room that does not usually have a lot of natural light (you will be lucky if there is a window) and in which there is usually no space left over. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to that the bathroom contains everything we need in an orderly way So, how to include more things? I also think that the force of habit weighs a little. There is no problem that the plants “take their place” on balconies and terraces and that they are protagonists in the living room. But we find it hard to think of them when decorating other rooms.
As reasons in favor, we must include plant maximalism, which, I dare say, has been “aggravated” during confinement. In addition, the de-stressing and refreshing properties of the plants make them perfect for bathrooms where, increasingly, we seek the experience of well-being or wellness.
And if these reasons do not convince you, we will also appeal to the aesthetic sense, because it must be recognized that plants look good in the bathroom (and everywhere).
So we encourage you to include natural plants in your bathroom. Here is a small list of the plants that have the best chance of survival in this humid and generally poorly lit environment.
Zamioculcas
This shiny leafy plant is almost impossible to kill. This plant does well when there is abundant or little light and is very tolerant to wet conditions. Some nurseries sell them natural through Amazon.
Zamioculca – Pot 14cm. – Height approx. 40cm. – Live plant – (Shipping only to Peninsula)
Lilies of peace
Dark baths are a pleasant environment for the peace lily that requires, and wants, little light and loves humidity. Also thanks to its flowers it is one of the most elegant and sophisticated options (also in Aamzon)
AIRY Espatifilo – Natural air purifier for a better indoor climate – Suitable for the innovative AIRY pot (17cm)

Potho hang – Pot 15cm. – with hanger – Live plant – (Shipping only to Peninsula)
Fern
The fern is ideal for humid environments and intense light does not suit it, but it does not benefit from not having any lighting, but indirect or filtered light will suffice.
With hanging planter from 19.99 euros.
Houseplant – Nephrolepis – Boston Fern -House plant in a hanging planter
Bamboo
It is one of the plants that you will find frequently in the bathrooms. This houseplant works well in low indirect light and even can be cultivated in a simple container of water. If you opt for water instead of the pot, remember that you have to change the water at least once a month.
Why not hang the cuttings in glass pots like these? On Amazon from 17.99 euros
Ivolador – Flowerpot to Hang on the Wall, Test Tube for Flowers, Tabletop vase, terrariumin, Wood Stand, Hydroponic Plant propagation
Aspidistra or hall and tin sheets
This plant does not need a lot of light or a lot of water to survive and it can withstand high temperatures. As sansiviera make sure the soil is dry before watering again.
Air plants
With more than 700 varieties these plants do not need land to survive but live from the air, that means that they will not rob you of space if you hang them in recent glass like these. They’ll be able to get most of the water out of their steam showers, but if you notice them dry, you can give them a quick bath or spray them with water.
On Amazon five rare plants from 30 euros.

They need little watering (it is necessary to water only when the earth is dry) and they are resistant plants, also they are one of the best plants to purify the air. A double function (decorative and purifying at the same time).

Ribbons or spider plants
Tapes are also one of the most commonly seen plants in the bathroom. The tapes need low light and also love moisture making it the perfect bathing companion. You just have to take into account that they tend to grow abundantly, so from time to time it will be necessary to prune and care for you to continue having room in the bathroom.
Indoor plant – Home or office plant – Chlorophytum – Indoor spider plant
