The Best Plants for a Spa-Like Bathroom

Why should every other room in the house get all the houseplant love? You may not spend as much time in here as the living room or the kitchen, but that doesn’t mean this room has to be boring and blah. Greenery is a way to add that spa feeling to your bathroom, too! In fact, it's actually the perfect environment for many different kinds of houseplants. After all, many plants are tropical natives that adore warmth and humidity. Display your plants on a window sill, mount shelving, or try a hanging pot if you have no counter space. A south-facing window is best for plants that like bright light, but east and west-facing windows work, too. But no problem if your bathroom doesn’t have wide, sunny windows; many plants will adapt to moderate or low-light conditions. One word of advice: Be careful about overwatering bathroom plants; they won’t dry out as quickly as those in other parts of your house because of the naturally higher humidity levels. Check your plants about every week to tell how dry the soil is; most prefer being somewhat dry between drinks, and none like to be waterlogged. Take a look at the best plants to brighten any bathroom.
