Plants in the bathroom - yes or no?

il y a 6 ans

Have you heard of the term shower plant? Essentially, plants for your bathroom that love the moisture of your space and might be tropical enough to like the warmth, too. And then there's the aesthetic aspect; plants can definitely brighten up a room in need of some TLC.

What types of plants do you have in your bathroom? Do you have any advice for the community when it comes to nurturing shower plants? Share here!

I keep 6 orchids in my bathroom. When they start flowering I move them to other parts of the house and rotate the orchids that have flowered back in to the bathroom to recuperate. It's almost a spa get away for them!

Brilliant Shannon. I tend to get rid of my orchids when they no longer flower. I know I should hold on to them and wait for the next phase, but I think they just look too ugly. The bathroom might be the perfect hideaway for them... How often do you water them when they're in the bathroom?

bonjour,je ne suis pas contre les chaises médaillons,mais les rayures je trouve que ça encombre visuellement,mais si ça vous correspond en ce moment... Les 2 miroirs presque face à face,il me semble qu'on dit en Fengshui que c'est plutôt négatif,que ça renvoie des choses...et le miroir vertical sur la commode Henri II,c'est trop proche de la porte blanche sur le côté,ça fait 2 pièces verticales côte à côte! autant inverser les 2 miroirs ou mettre le vertical ailleurs et partager les objets qui sont un peu beaucoup sur le buffet... c'est dommage car on ne voit plus rien... le meuble Henri II ne me choque pas,il ramène un peu de bois. rappel de la deco sans ce meuble: avec le nouveau meuble: je n'avais pas vu ces pierres : Comment vous sentez vous avec ces changements,nouveaux meubles etc... Vous sentez vous plus chez vous? en forme,en bonne santé? Je vous conseille de tester différents endroits de vos pièces,essayer de sentir les vibrations,votre ressenti,s'il est pratique de s'asseoir dans le fauteuil,le canapé,les chaises,si c'est commode d'ouvrir les portes des meubles,si c'est agréable de se voir dans ces miroirs lors d'un repas... quel est votre coin favori?

Je reviens du Valais et ça y est, l'appartement est reloué. J'ai eu beaucoup de demandes de gens sérieux pour la plupart et en fait le locataire est une connaissance de ma cousine, quelqu'un de sérieux. OUF! Je mets la photo finale avec le store, les volets, la terrasse et le petit bout de jardin aménagé avec des lavandes, de petits arbustes jaunes et une autrz sorte que j'ai oublié. Ça fera 3 petits massifs. MERCI Encore à vous toutes qui m'avez épaulé, conseillé, encouragé pendant ce chantier qui est une réussite totale. UN MERCI SPécial aux Florence(s) DD et Mérieau qui se sont investies à fond. J'adore et tout le monde qui a visité a adoré cet appartement. Je vous embrasse.

Let their roots sit in water for an hour once a month. Spray them weekly (if they don't get a steamy environment). Also when you cut off old stems put some powdered cinnamon on the 'cut' to stop bacterial infection. Where I worked a few years ago there was a sad wooden stick that everyone kept watering (obviously they don't like too much water so this was killing it). I took it to my spa retreat and it now produces amazing large flowers. It is better to under water them, they tend to fight back more with flowers! Almost like treating a chilli plant roughly, the rougher you are at pruning a chilli plant the hotter the chilli's! :)

I have a palm tree in my bathroom. Needs watering regularly but easy enough to do. Completes the look.

My bathroom is painted in railings so I went with the aesthetic aspect as plants looks great against it. I have quite a large Areca palm. Apparently anyone can keep them alive but only time will tell... A local'ish flower stall has also started selling single monstera leafs which looked good in a vase but I may buy a faux one of those instead to avoid a weekly journey!

Hanging plants then if it's a small bathroom - they still add something really special and their good for our health too!

Are there any plants that would survive in a bathroom without a window?

I have a BEAUTIFUL parlour palm in my sunny south facing bathroom. I've had it for about 15 years and it's large. The shape of the falling fronds is so o o o elegant. I also have a mini orchid on the windowsill, which is currently in flower. It's a gorgeous dark red, and there are 10 or more blooms and buds. I'd like to add a Boston fern. I'm lucky enough to have a large bathroom.

Oh yes! Absolutely...plants are highly beneficial for your health and beautiful trailing plants in the bathroom (even shower) can look wonderful. I recently wrote a post about the Air Purifying plants http://ow.ly/2tTf30bKodx and have another going up tomorrow on the specific 'shower plant' trend that you mentioned. Hope this helps!

I don't know the name of my plant but it's doing very well in my bathroom and I enjoy seeing it there.

I have plants in every room in my house; in fact there are probably more plants than items of furniture! And yes, they have invaded the bathroom as well. It's a perfect environment for plants, often humid and steamy, perfect for certain types such as palms, African violets and philodendron.

Like jood I have plants everywhere and I am slowly adding to my bathroom collection.

I have tiny cacti and succulents on the (very narrow) windowsill, a beautiful orchid that obviously loves living there as it's flowered none stop for the last 4 years and I recently added an ivy and a poor calathea that I got for £5 after it had been h̶o̶r̶r̶i̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶n̶e̶g̶l̶e̶c̶t̶e̶d̶ cared for by Morrisons.
It has huge leaves and there wasn't really room for it, but I'm a sucker for saving plants like this!

I LOVE the hanging plants idea - so creative and practical! I really want to have some macrame hanging plants in my bathroom - a bank holiday project maybe, what do you think?

Loving plants in the bathroom I've just found this thread. Emma I hope your calathea has survived? It certainly looked dehydrated and sorry for itself in your photo? I've got one that was in them lounge in low light and always looked unhappy. I've now put it on a shelf in my bathroom and it's perked up a treat? Humidity is good plus letting it completely dry out in between watering.

@catalanqueen it has struggled but it's still alive! It has been in a few rooms around the house, including the bathroom which it didn't seem to like - despite having a large window I think that the spot it was in in there was too dark for it.
I've recently moved it out to our sunroom, where it seems to be thriving (contrary to all of the recommended growing conditions for calathea). The humidity is low but I've found that wetting the leaves at least once a week keeps it happy and it's throwing out lots of new leaves which is great.
