Bathroom plants for a botanical spa
The bathroom is the perfect place to escape the rush of the day for a moment. With a few plants you can turn this room into your own green spa. Houseplants do not just add atmosphere, they bring calm and relaxation too. On top of that, plants purify the air and make the bathroom an even nicer place to be.
What are the benefits of plants in the bathroom?
Plants in the bathroom are not only lovely to look at, they have practical and wellbeing benefits as well:
- Better air quality: many houseplants filter harmful substances out of the air and raise the humidity, which makes for a fresh, healthy environment.
- A spa experience at home: adding greenery turns your bathroom into a soothing place. The natural look of plants creates a luxurious spa feel.
- Sound absorption: plants absorb sound, which helps create a quieter, more relaxed room.
- A decorative touch: plants add life and colour to the bathroom, even in the most minimalist of spaces.
Our top 5 bathroom plants
A bathroom plant not only has to look good, it also has to cope with moisture and get by on little direct sunlight. Happily, there are plenty of plants that thrive in the unique conditions of a bathroom.
Kentia palm
A Kentia palm is the perfect bathroom plant! This tropical beauty loves high humidity, which makes your bathroom the ideal spot for it to grow happily. With their elegant, sweeping leaves they bring a wonderful jungle vibe to your bathroom and a fresh, green look.
Monstera
The Monstera, also known as the Swiss cheese plant, is a popular choice thanks to its tropical look. It is a tough plant that asks very little, and it gives the bathroom bags of atmosphere.
Banana plant
Do you have a sunny bathroom? Then the banana plant is a lovely option too. This tropical star enjoys a bit more humidity around it, and the bathroom is exactly where it finds it. As long as it can sit somewhere nice and sunny, that is!
Sansevieria (snake plant)
The Sansevieria is one of the most low-maintenance plants around and does well in any bathroom. They are extremely tough, need little water and survive in both light and shade.
Epipremnum
The Epipremnum is a graceful climbing plant, perfect for hanging pots or for trailing over shelves. It thrives in humid air and grows even in low light.
How do you care for bathroom plants?
Caring for bathroom plants is straightforward, as long as you allow for the particular conditions in this room.
Watch the humidity
Showering and bathing often leave the bathroom with high humidity. So choose plants that like humid air. Check regularly that the soil is not too wet, to prevent root rot.
Make sure there is enough light
Many bathrooms have limited light. Choose plants that do well in low or indirect light. Is your bathroom windowless? Consider a grow light to give your plants enough light.
Do not overwater
Even though bathroom plants sit in a humid environment, they still need water. Check the soil and water when it feels dry. Ideally measure this with a moisture meter so you can read the moisture right down at the roots.
Air circulation matters
Make sure your bathroom is well ventilated. This prevents mould and helps keep your plants healthy. A fan or an open window will do the job.
