Top 10 Plants for the Bathroom
Thanks to the moisture-rich environment, the bathroom is a great place for many indoor plants whose natural habitats are in the rainforest or jungle. That said, not all plants enjoy the extra humidity (think succulents or cacti!) and some may even develop fungus issues if left there too long. What’s more, some bathrooms have small or no windows, making it difficult for light-loving plants to survive. With all this in mind, find our picks for the best plants for any type of bathroom (and while you’re at it, give your entire bathroom a style upgrade!)

Pothos

Cast Iron Plant
Staghorn Fern
Bird’s Nest Fern
Monstera Deliciosa

Parlor Palm
Indoor palms love shady, humid conditions, and they are the perfect plant for bathrooms with medium light. Parlor Palms in particular are a nice size for small to medium-sized bathrooms (though if you have the space, go for a big Kentia Palm!).
Cascading Pothos
Easiest plant in the world? Possibly. The Cascading Pothos (or any Pothos or Devil’s Ivy variety) is a thirsty plant that will flourish even in a space with little to no light.
Bird of Paradise
Have a big bathroom that you’d like to transform into a jungle? The Bird of Paradise requires medium to bright light, lots of moisture, and plenty of space to spread out.
Cast Iron Plant
The Cast Iron plant gets its name from its extreme hardiness. In fact, these plants love dark, draft corners and will thrive in a low-light bathroom with frequent temperature fluctuations.
Staghorn Fern
Ferns make great plants for bathrooms as they love humid, shady environments. The Staghorn Fern with its unique, fuzzy foliage and its delicate shape is a fantastic addition to any space.
Bird’s Nest Fern
We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: moisture-loving ferns are an excellent choice for the bathroom! And the Bird’s Nest Fern is arguably the easiest from this variety of plants.
Monstera Deliciosa
A jungle dweller at heart, the trendy Monstera Deliciosa will love hanging out in a shady and humid bathroom.
Rubber Plant
Rubber Plants are unique choices for the bathroom thanks to their bold colors and waxy, shiny leaves.
Braided Money Tree
Said to bring good luck and prosperity, the Braided Money Tree is an excellent choice for the bathroom as it thrives in humid envrionments.
Philodendron Brasil
A beautifully multi-colored and easy care plant, the Philodendron Brasil is the perfect trailing plant for bathroom shelves.
