TRANSFORM YOUR BORING BATHROOM: 6 shower plants to bring a touch of the Rainforest
Transform your bathroom into a lush, tropical oasis with these ideal plants that thrive in the warm, moist, and shaded environment typical of showers.
The Majesty palm can add a touch of height to your bathroom and thrives with a gentle mist, making it a perfect addition to your shower area. Despite its love for sunnier locales, it can tolerate low light, making it a great choice for bathrooms with skylights, southern exposure windows, or glass bricks.
Pothos, both silver and golden varieties, are excellent options for shower plants. They are low-light tolerant, thrive in warm, humid conditions, and are easy to care for trail plants suitable for bathroom and shower spaces.
For those seeking a low-maintenance, low-light plant, Lucky bamboo is an ideal choice. It doesn't even need soil to thrive and promises luck, making it an easy-to-care-for addition to your shower space.
Ferns, such as Boston fern or kangaroo fern, generally enjoy a high level of humidity and can thrive in the shower area. English ivy is another humidity-loving plant that will look fetching in the shower area, but remember to keep it up away from pets and children as it is toxic.
Plants like philodendrons, chenille plant (Acalypha poiretii), cocktail orchid (Cattleya forbesii), curiosity plant (Tolmiea menziesii), and calathea are also suitable for your shower space. These plants do well in low, indirect light and consistently moist, humid environments.
Bromeliads and baby rubber plant are other humidity-loving plants that can survive on low light such as fluorescent lighting alone and love humidity, making them suitable for bathrooms. The spider plant is another classic humidity-loving plant that can grow well in low-light, moist bathroom/shower conditions.
When choosing plants for your shower, it's essential to place them where they receive indirect or filtered light rather than direct sunlight. They benefit from the steamy environment of a shower which provides consistent humidity, but care with watering is still important to avoid overwatering.
In summary, golden pothos, spider plant, ferns, philodendrons, and orchids are some of the top choices for low-light, humidity-loving shower plants due to their adaptability, moisture needs, and low light tolerance. These plants will not only beautify your bathroom but also help create an outdoor vibe, similar to an exotic tropical getaway.
