The best plants for your bathroom?

Ready to fill your bathroom with lots of houseplants? Keep reading to find out our top picks for your home.

1. The Pothos

The pothos is a great indoor plant for the bathroom. They’re small enough that they won’t get in your way as you step out of the shower. But, they stand out enough to make a statement. The marble queen pothos is ideal for the bathroom because they’re very hardy and forgiving. They don’t need much attention to survive. So they’re the perfect plant for those who can be a little forgetful.

Not only are these plants lovely to look at and easy to care for, but they also have air purifying powers. So don’t be surprised if you start feeling even more refreshed after your showers.

2. The Monstera

The monstera, or Swiss cheese plant as they’ve been nicknamed, will love the moisture of your bathroom. In fact, they’re used to much wetter spaces as they’re native to rainforests. And their holey leaves are a sign of this - they help rain fall through them when it gets a bit much.

Monsteras are pretty easy going, so will easily survive in the bathroom. While they don’t require much water to survive (they like their soil to be about 75% dry before watering again) they do love an occasional pamper. Their favourite treatment? Having their leaves polished with coconut oil every now and then.

3. The Snake Plant

Snake plants are natural air purifiers, so can get rid of any toxins that may be floating about. And because they’re so easy going, they’ll happily live anywhere, from bright spots to places that don’t get much light.

They also don’t need much attention to thrive either. They can go up to 2 weeks without being watered (but we recommend about once a week). When put somewhere humid, they’ll actually need watering less often. The easiest way to make a snake plant unhappy is by overwatering it. And in a humid spot, they’ll get a lot of the moisture they need from the air.

4. The Fern

The fern is another great plant to keep in your bathroom. Because usually, they need lots of attention - regular watering, plenty of misting and the occasional compliment. But if kept in the bathroom, you won’t need to mist yours. The humidity will take care of that for you.

And while they might require a little more water and patience than your average plant, in return they purify the air in your bathroom, leaving the whole room feeling light and airy. Ferns are plants that look good and while doing good for your home.

5. The Peace Lily Plant

A peace lily plant will be very happy in the bathroom as they thrive in indirect light. Not only can they give your whole space an upgrade, they also keep you breathing easy. As they purify the air, they absorb any mould and mildew through their leaves. This is especially helpful in the bathroom, as excess moisture can cause nasty spores to grow.

But the best bit? Their white flowers are ideal for brightening up bathrooms that don’t get much sunlight. And will look so pretty perched on the end of a bathtub.

6. Orchids

Who doesn’t love an orchid? Bold, yet dainty, our speckled orchid - with its bright ceramic pot - will add an instant pop of colour to any bathroom. They not only look great, but they’re super low maintenance too.

Orchids are used to high humidity as they’re usually found in tropical regions. So will do really well in a steamy bathroom. Plus, they’re not fussy on how much light they get (as long as it’s not too much).

7. The Rubber Plant

The rubber plant is a perfect match for your bathroom. With its shiny leaves and strong presence, it brings a cool, natural vibe to your space. 

Unlike some plants, rubber plants love the steamy, humid air in bathrooms. And guess what? They're very easy to take care of. Just give them a little water now and then, and they'll be thriving in no time. 

Plus, their size makes them perfect for adding a touch of greenery to the floor space in your bathroom. These plants will totally transform your bathroom into a green paradise.

8. The Flamingo Flower

Introducing the fabulous flamingo flower, a striking blend of beauty and greenery! With its vibrant pink blooms and lush foliage, it's sure to make a statement in your bathroom. 

And here's the best part – these stunning flowers bloom all year round, bringing a burst of colour to your bathroom no matter the season. With their captivating presence, these flowers will instantly uplift the atmosphere of your bathroom, creating a delightful oasis you'll enjoy bathing in.

9. The Peacock Plant

With its lush and intricately patterned leaves, the peacock plant adds a touch of natural beauty to your home. It loves the humid conditions often found in bathrooms, making it a perfect fit for that environment. 

Not only does it bring some greenery to your bathroom, but it also helps to keep the air fresh. Whether you place it on the floor or a sturdy surface, its unique foliage adds a lovely touch to your bathroom decor. 

With its calming presence, the peacock plant effortlessly brings a sense of peace and style to your daily routine. You'll definitely enjoy the tranquil atmosphere it creates in your bathroom oasis!

10. The Spider Plant

The spider plant is a lovely choice for your bathroom. It has long, drooping leaves and little baby plants that grow on them. This plant is great because it can handle the low light and humid conditions in bathrooms really well. 

You can put it on a shelf or hang it from a pot, and it will still look nice. Plus, it helps keep the air clean! With its easy care and pretty look, the spider plant brings a fresh and relaxing vibe to your bathroom.
