What are the best plants for the bathroom?

Bring some plants indoors and let them thrive in the warmth.

Your focus may be on what is happening in your garden at the moment, but why not bring a little greenery inside?

Your bathroom’s low light and high humidity can be perfect for plants.

Here are some great options to try:

Aloe vera

Place it near the bathroom window and don’t water it – the humidity alone will be enough. And don’t forget, if you burn yourself, snip a bit of aloe vera and squeeze the gel on the affected area.

Orchid

Place near the natural light source but make sure it is filtered. They love the humidity and will be very happy left to their own resources.

Begonia

These pretty little plants love being indoors and love fluorescent light. They will need daily humidity or misting.

Ferns

A small fern will love a lot of indirect light and also appreciate the humidity.
