Choosing the right bathroom plants

Are you looking for the perfect plants for your bathroom? The light conditions in the room will be a particularly important factor in your choice.

Plants for light bathrooms

Aloe vera is one of the most popular bathroom plants. It needs a light, sunny space in the bathroom. The tropical monstera, recognisable by its large, perforated leaves, even copes with semi-shaded locations. The abaca, or banana plant, grows up to two metres in height and needs a lot of sunlight.
 

Plants for dark bathrooms

The peace lily is one of the most beautiful bathroom plants. It prefers warm, humid conditions and flourishes even in the shade. The easy-care aspidistra does not need ideal light conditions and is a perfect plant for novices. One trailing plant for the bathroom is ivy arum. It adds a tropical note to the room and needs very little sunlight.

Plants for a windowless bathroom

The Zanzibar gem copes perfectly well without light, which makes it ideal for a windowless bathroom. Easy-care ivy is another good choice for a bathroom with no natural daylight and it is perfect for small bathrooms too. With its reddish leaves, the fittonia will add a colourful note to a dark bathroom.
