Bathroom Plants

Orchids

Orchids are beautiful, and absolutely great to grow in the bathroom! The damp, warm conditions found in the bathroom make it easy for these tropical plants to thrive. Orchids grow better in bark instead of soil, and the bark should be kept damp at all times.

Spider Plant (or China Doll)

The Spider Plant is an often grown houseplant. Mostly because they tolerate low lighting, they love humidity, and they are super easy to propagate! If you choose to grow China Doll with the Spider Plant remember that the China Doll plants need indirect sunlight, and moist, well-drained soil. Both of these plants love the conditions in the bathroom!

Peperomia

This plant is super small, and it loves areas with low lighting. Be sure to keep it out of any areas with direct sunlight because this will cause the leaves to wilt.

Snake Plant

Commonly referred to as “mother-in-laws” tongue, this plant is seriously impossible to kill. It tolerates heat exceptionally well, and can grow in any kind of lighting environment. They also don’t require a ton of water, and if kept in the bathroom you may find that the humidity is enough to satisfy this plant.

Heartleaf Philodendron

This plant from South America doesn’t need a whole lot of well…anything to survive. Keep its soil damp (although it does tolerate dry soil surprisingly well), and make sure it’s kept in an area with high humidity. It’s one of the perfect bathroom plants!

    I have some of these plants, I just need some hooks. What is really nice I have a skylight in the bathroom, it is on the east side. Thank you for the information on the plants too.

    I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while actually, I’m just worried they won’t like the occasionally shampoo foam bits… Also, don’t they mind the water/damp being warm?
