With plants you can create your personal wellness oasis in the bathroom. The attractive green takes away the sterility of the tiled space while creating a pleasant ambience. In the following article you will find great tips for choosing the right plants for the bathroom.
A bathroom with lots of light provides optimal conditions for a number of indoor plants
Structural conditions
In the bathroom there is usually a completely different room climate than in the rest of the apartment:
- The windows are often kept rather small, so that little light penetrates into the room. In bright rooms, pay attention to when and how much direct sunlight reaches the plants.
- The temperature of your bath is also important when choosing plants. This is usually a few degrees higher than in the rest of the apartment.
- There is also a certain level of humidity from showering or bathing.
Plants for unfavorable light conditions
Many tropical plants grow in the shade of the jungle giants. They are specialists who thrive in low light:

| A leaf | Originally grows in the South American jungle in the shade of large trees and therefore does well with little light. |
| nest fern | Prefers partially shaded locations and does not tolerate direct sunlight. In addition, this fern loves it warm, the temperature should not fall below 20 degrees. This houseplant likes the high humidity in the bathroom. |

| Zamioculcas | The real lucky feather is considered the easiest houseplant to care for. The arum plant should be in partial shade and otherwise requires little care. |
Green plants for bright bathrooms
If there is a lot of light in your bathroom, there is a large selection of plants:
| basket marante | The leaves of the Korbmarante reach a diameter of up to 40 centimeters. As a result, it fits wonderfully into bright, spacious bathrooms, especially since it requires a lot of humidity. |
|---|---|
| flamingo flower | The brightly colored bracts of the flamingo flower set colorful accents in the bathroom. Place the plant in bright light, but direct sunlight should only play around the flamingo flower for a few hours. |
| Monstera (Monstera) | The imposing window leaf has become a trend plant in recent years. The Monstera feels at least as comfortable in a bright, warm bathroom as it does in the living room. |
| sword fern | Creates a tropical atmosphere with the pretty feathered leaves. The sword fern prefers a light location, but you should not place it in full sun. |
| tillandsia | If you only have a small but light-flooded bathroom, tillandsias are the ideal green ornament. Without a breeding ground, the plants only obtain moisture from the air. |
