More Plants You didn?t know You Can Use to Decorate Your Bathroom
We?ve already come up with a list of some common plants that you can place in your bathroom, such as aloe vera, bamboo, begonia, and the cast iron plant. But there are indeed a lot more plants you can place in your bathroom, not just as decoration, but as a useful element which aids in air flow and circulation and improves the bathroom?s ventilation. You may think that most plants wouldn?t thrive in a bathroom, but you?d be surprised. Here's an additional list of plants you didn?t know you can use to decorate your bathroom and make it look more attractive and appealing.
- The Boston fern
Boston fern is a type of fern which has long fronds and frilly leaves, and it's a popular choice for many bathrooms. Although the fern is a native of tropical and sub-tropical rainforests, it can still thrive in your bathroom as long as it is placed right by the windowsill. It loves humidity and high temperatures. The fern?s soil should be moist, but avoid saturating it with water.
- Ivy
Ivy is a popular plant, and for good reason. But did you know that you can also place it in your bathroom to give the room a more fresh and appealing atmosphere? English ivy is a particularly great choice, and it's actually used by NASA to purify air. Ivy helps keep your bathroom hygienic and clean as it removes mould and bacteria from the atmosphere. Even if you have a small bathroom, you can easily place an ivy plant on a shelf or ledge; another option would be to place it in a basket and hang it from the ceiling. Many homeowners like placing their ivy plants next to their shower cubicles, where the leaves can attractively hang down from a basket.
- Chinese evergreen
Yet another plant that can serve as decoration for your bathroom is the Chinese evergreen. This plant can be distinguished by its green leaves striped with yellow or white, and it's a sturdy and durable plant ideal for any bathroom. Chinese evergreen can most definitely thrive even in indirect sunlight or in low lighting, and although it likes humidity and warmth (common in almost all bathrooms), it is still a flexible plant which can thrive in other environments.
- Orchid
An orchid or two can really transform the look of your bathroom, giving it an elegant and classy feel. Orchids can be placed on the windowsill, and the indirect lighting can provide enough heat whilst keeping the leaves from scorching. Another good aspect about the orchid is that it's a relatively neat, trim, and compact plant, and this makes it ideal for smaller bathrooms where you can simply place it on the bath corner or beside the sink.
