Best Plants for Bathroom

About

Living plants make bathrooms more pleasant places for users, improving the decor and air quality. Bathrooms can be good environments for plants, too. A bathroom is typically a warm, humid room that provides the perfect environment for plants, and water to irrigate the plants is always close at hand. But you still need to make your choices wisely. The bathroom environment is not perfect all the time, and not all plants are well suited for the conditions found in a bathroom. Even though there is plenty of warm, humid air during shower time, the room can get much colder when left empty for hours, especially at night. These wide temperature fluctuations are not ideal for many plants. Not all plants enjoy high humidity. Succulents prefer drier conditions and will rot if kept constantly moist. And evergreens and several other plants may develop powdery mildew in high humidity. Many bathrooms have low levels of sunlight , if they have windows at all. Do not give up if that is the case with your bathroom. Fluorescent bulbs provide plenty of light in wavelengths that plants can use. These three factors—low light, high humidity, and temperature swings—need to be considered when choosing plants for a bathroom. Here are suggestions for plants that will do well in average bathroom conditions.
