15 plants that grow well in the bathroom, a list
Neither darkness nor humidity scares them. On the contrary, they attract.
When your own apartment appears, you want everything in it to be perfect. Every detail is thought out to the slightest shade. Of course, the bathroom does not go unnoticed either. After all, it should be beautiful in it too. Indoor plants are the best way to decorate your interior. But not every plant will survive in the harsh bathroom climate. We have collected those that will be grateful to you for posting right here.
Tillandsia is of two types: potted and epiphyde. We need a second one. It is also called atmsoferny – it does not need a pot, all its nutrition is obtained from the air. She has a great variety of subspecies, so it will not be difficult to find the right one. And poor lighting and high humidity are simply necessary for her. Tillandsia is loved to sit in shells and hang from the ceiling or arrange on shelves.
The most common orchid – it also does not really need soil, but there are also varieties that do not need it at all. Originally tropical, this plant loves moisture and heat. So if you give in a couple, the orchid won’t get upset. These flowers can also be hung or arranged in transparent pots.
Philodendron: Brazil and Silver Queen
Brazil is a climbing plant with characteristic yellow stripes on its leaves. Beautiful, bright, it will ideally dilute the usually restrained interior of the bathroom and will not take up much space. And silver is a kind of philodendron with a silvery bloom on the leaves. Both are very unpretentious and feel good surrounded by humid air.
A truly magical plant that not only loves darkness, but also purifies the air from various poisons: toluene, xylene. It is a climbing plant that can be shaped so that it braids a mirror beautifully. By the way, its second name is golden epipremnum. Golden – because the leaves have yellow streaks.
The plant is bright, joyful: a rosette of juicy green leaves, and in the center is a red candle of a flower. Bromeliad, like tillandsia and orchid, belongs to epiphid plants, that is, it receives food directly from the air, absorbing everything that is needed from the roots and leaves. Bromeliad does not like drafts, but likes very high humidity and indirect light. If you have a window in the bathroom, this is the perfect place for it.
Actually, the correct name for the flower is tropical sansevieria. But as soon as he is not called! He’s mother-in-law’s tongue, and a snake flower, and a pike’s tail. This is one of the most unpretentious flowers that survives in almost any conditions. If you have space to put a compact holly flower pot on the floor, this is a very interesting solution.
It is also called “flathorn” or “antler”. A very interesting fern species native to tropical forests. Therefore, low light, humidity and warmth are so nice to him. And, what is important, this is an epiphyte – that is, the soil is not as important to it as the air. It rarely needs to be watered, but the air should be humid. Without light, by the way, the flathorn stops growing. Therefore, you should not be afraid that it will take up too much space.
This flower also has a magical property – it attracts money into the house. Therefore, the name “dollar tree” became his second name. Zamioculcas requires only regular watering – it doesn’t need anything else. And it’s hard to forget about watering in the bathroom. Looks, by the way, this flower is very cute and looks perfect in a simple white pot.
This plant is only suitable for fairly spacious bathrooms, because it grows a lot. It is very hardy, but aloe is valued not even for this, but for the incredible benefits that it brings to the body: it is widely used both in folk medicine and in home cosmetology.
Cast-iron flower – this is the name of the British for its endurance. It really is able to survive in conditions close to extreme. Aspidistra does not like direct sunlight, so the darkness is not particularly scary for her. And the humidity will also allow watering the plant very infrequently.
The plant, with proper care, turns into a lush variegated bush. Aglaonema loves partial shade, warmth and humid air. If it grows in an ordinary room, then it needs to be sprayed frequently. Aglaonema, even in very gloomy rooms, feels relatively good. But it loses its motley pattern on the leaves. So it’s ideal if you still have a small window in your bathroom.
Dracaena Sander – that’s what it’s right to call him. Well, or lucky bamboo, as they call it almost everywhere. He is good for his incredible unpretentiousness. Bamboo feels great in water with fertilizers, in the ground, and in a mixture of flower soil with sand. The only thing he doesn’t like is low temperatures and bright sunlight.
This plant is called the flower of female happiness, which brings peace, comfort, tranquility and joy to the house. And love, of course. Spathiphyllum is very sensitive to watering, so constant humidity will benefit it. The plant does not like hard water, dry air. But it will not tolerate excessive watering either – the roots will begin to rot.
Dracaena bordered – it will be correct, but not so beautiful. This plant prefers partial shade, but otherwise it is completely unpretentious. It needs to be sprayed at least sometimes, and in the bathroom this problem is solved by itself. It will look great on the floor – lying in the bath and looking at the palm leaves overhead, you can imagine that vacation is coming soon.
