Your bathroom is a place of solace, but why does it get ignored while every room gets due attention?
It doesn’t have to look bland; you can liven it up with houseplants!
Placing houseplants in bathrooms is neither as challenging as you think nor demand that much attention.
In this article, we will show you:
Bathrooms can be pretty stuffy at times, right? Adding houseplants can do wonders. They:
Houseplants improve air quality in whichever room you keep them in. They remove toxins from the air and keep your family safe. And, as you have seen, they can make rooms cooler and less humid.
While you certainly can keep these in every room, consider keeping them in the bathroom as well.
There are indeed several plants that do not require sunlight to grow. This is a pretty sweet deal since it means you can keep such plants in bathrooms where there is limited to no natural light.
Such plants are:
You should also consider Pothos plants. It is also known as the Devil’s Ivy. But don’t worry. It won’t bite! Instead, it quickly absorbs water, something which makes the plant invaluable to have in bathrooms. Since these grow well in indirect light, you can keep these on a shelf or hang them.
Think decorating your bathroom is costly and a time-consuming hassle? Think again. With just a couple of houseplants, you can make the room cooler.
Most bathrooms have a temperate climate, while the warmer ones can seem tropical. This happens when baths and hot showers are used regularly, with low lighting conditions, steady humidity and warmth.
Here are some plants you should consider.
All that this plant requires is water, indirect light and temperatures between 65 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. By the way, you don’t need soil for this plant either. All that you do need is a vase.
For decoration, you can add glass beads or coloured pebbles. To ensure that it has a long life, change the water every week to avoid algae growth. However, if you have pets, keep them away from this plant. It can cause illness in pets if ingested.
Who said orchids are only for parks and gardens? They look great in the washroom too. Orchids come in many delightful colours and shapes, ranging from petite and demure blossoms to larger and more prominent ones.
Orchids thrive best in humid conditions, making them ideal to have in the washroom. You may want to start small with the Moth Orchid. It is smaller, cheaper, and is easy to maintain.
These short plants come in a wide variety of hues, colours and shapes. And the weird thing? It is said this plant does not require air for growth. That is not entirely true. While Air Plants don’t need much care, they do need bright, indirect light and watering.
These can work as attractive displays or decoration plants. For instance, these can be put on a shelf or glued to shell and bark.
Moss? Of all plants?
Yes, moss can be excellent for decorating your bathroom. The beauty of this is you can use it for small rooms. If air plants need less care, moss requires even less than that. They can thrive in low-light conditions and by getting water mist-sprayed twice a week.
You can get creative with moss. For instance, you can grow in a cup and display that, or roll moss into a smooth ball, or put it in a terrarium.
Bathrooms can be pretty dull. To lessen that effect, you can display Peace Lilies. It survives in low-light and humid conditions and looks beautiful while doing so!
Want something more colourful? Get tuberous begonia. This plant produces beautiful flowers when they get indirect light.
There are several varieties of begonia plants. You may want to get the Non-Stop type. It is called so because it never stops producing flowers.
The plant itself is inexpensive to start your bathroom decoration project since you can sprout them from seeds. There’s no need to buy this plant unless you want to.
Ferns are pretty popular as houseplants. The plant is versatile, and the leaves are beautiful. Ferns are available in various breeds.
You can have these suspended from the bathroom ceiling or have them in pots on the floor. This plant thrives on dense forest floors, so don’t worry about keeping them in moist and low-light conditions.
However, you still need to care for them a bit. Check regularly if the soil is becoming dry. The ideal temperature for the plant is mild to cool, generally. An occasional warm shower on them is fine, but the water’s temperature needs to be around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
These plants require little to no maintenance and are ideal for use in bathrooms. So go ahead! Get some of these plants and see how it works. So share some snaps when you fall in love with the space again!
