Best Houseplants for Your Bathroom

Houseplants improve the decor and air quality on different areas of our home. Plants require water, sunlight and we need to consider the temperature they needed for them to be able to survive. Due to these different factors, not all plants can be placed on the bathroom. Bathroom has low light, high humidity and it's temperature changes especially when left empty for hours. So, what plants will love to stay on your bathroom? We collected 10 different houseplants who will love to stay on your bathroom:

1. Asparagus Fern

Asparagus fern loves the humidity of a bathroom. It requires at least bright light or window sunlight. It may look soft to the touch, but the stems have thorns, so beware. It can grow to 2 feet high, but with branches that can sprawl laterally as much as 6 feet.

Warning: This plant is highly toxic—keep away from pets and small children.

2. Bamboo

Bamboo in containers is a good way to control the plants, which can grow invasively when planted in the garden. But even confined in containers, bamboo plants can get large, requiring repotting every year or so.

3. Begonia

Begonias like humid conditions but not water-logged soil, which can cause root rot. Begonias prized for their flowers need a bright spot in the bathroom, with some direct early morning sunlight. Begonias grown for their foliage need a bright location away from direct sunlight.

4. Bromeliads

Bromeliads are unusual specimens, in that they readily produce long-lasting blooms in locations where most house plants do not blossom at all. Bright, indirect light; will tolerate a few hours of direct sunlight each day but don't place them in hot afternoon sun--it can burn the leaves.

5. Cast-Iron Plant

Cast-iron plant is so hard to kill, and an excellent low-maintenance houseplant. A tropical plant growing 2 to 3 feet tall, this is one of the rare house plants that will tolerate near full shade. It also does not require high humidity, making it good for guest bathrooms that aren't used often.

6. Chinese Evergreen

These large-leaved, tropical perennials will thrive even if you forget to water and feed it. While it loves humidity, it will also tolerate dry air, provided you keep it out of cold drafts, which can damage the leaves. It grows from 10 inches to 4 feet tall, depending on the variety

7. Croton

Croton has variety of colors from green, or combinations of yellow, pink, orange, red, bronze, purple and green. These tropical broadleaf evergreens grow slowly, but they can get 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide, so be sure you have space for one. Croton plants need bright, but indirect light, and lots of humidity and moisture, although they do not like to sit in wet soil. Wait until the top two inches of soil are dry before watering.

8. Dumb Cane

Dumb cane plants do best with minimal care. The plants to be watered when the soil feels dry a few inches below the surface. Rotate your dumb cane plant every month, so it grows evenly on all sides. These plants can grow several feet tall.

9. Ferns

Ferns are a unique family of shade-loving plants that reproduce through spores rather than flowers and seeds. Many ferns make great houseplants. Most can handle the temperature fluctuations in a bathroom, and they love the humidity. Some can even be grown right in a shower stall, where they are regularly soaked. Some recommended ferns for the bathroom include Boston fern, Maidenhair fern, Bird's nest fern, and Button fern.

10. Snake Plant

These are easy growing plants that make a nice alternative to hanging plants. Depending on variety, mature plants can range from 8 inches to 4 feet in height. If the leaves start to flop open, hold them together with twine to keep them growing upright. Snake plants prefer bright light but can handle less than ideal conditions. Variegated varieties need more light, or they may revert to all green. Potted plants are often moved to shady outdoor locations in the summer. Water when top 2 inches of soil is dry.
