There are a variety of plants you can place in your bathroom which will not only make it look good but smell better, aiding in air circulation and releasing oxygen. So what are the best plants to place in your bathroom? Here are your top questions answered.

• Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a great plant to have in your bathroom because it is not only easy to take care of ? it is also immensely useful. The gel of the plant can be used as treatment for burns and minor scrapes and cuts, dry skin, and insect bit's, for instance. Ideally, the plant should be placed by the window. It doesn't need much watering; just a bit of water now and again should do.

• Cast iron plant

If you don't have much of a green thumb, the cast iron plant is definitely for you. It is a plant known for thriving even when neglected, after all. This plant can grow even with the least amount of light, it doesn't require much watering, and it can even grow in extremely warm temperatures. But if you want your cast iron plant to really thrive, place the plant under moderate or low lighting and not under direct sunlight. It also likes regular watering, but have it dry out first before watering it again. Lots of people place cast iron plants right beside their freestanding baths since the plant can survive hot temperatures, and they look great.

• Begonia

Begonia is not only pretty and attractive ? it's a natural indoor plant and thrives indoors. In fact, begonias love artificial lighting, especially fluorescent lights, but you can also place them near the window. Begonia plants need a regular spritz of water, though, so make sure to give it a misting now and again.

• Bamboo

Another plant which thrives indoors is bamboo, especially the so-called ?lucky bamboo.? This plant doesn't require much light in order to grow, and it's best suited to low and indirect lighting. You don't even need to place it in soil; the stalk grows well in containers that are just filled with water and pebbles. Just make sure to change or replace the water once every two ? four weeks. It may also need to be regularly trimmed since it grows pretty quickly.
