Plants in the bathroom

You're welcome @Dobbyatemysocks

Just realised I have that plant in my sitting room and it seems hardy enough!
It seems to love water and I've resurrected it many a time as it sits on a sunny window sill!

I also brought another spider plant that has babies!!

@halfpasteleven Thank you 😁💕

Got an absolute bargain yesterday. I will see if I can post a pic - 29p for a mother in law's tongue.

Very poorly, dry and sad looking but she's in the kitchen currently having been soaking for 24 hours. Going to trim the dead leaves, remove all the old compost and repot her.

I have never owned one of these and I don't have a clue what I'm doing, but it seems to be working 😁😁

But if anyone has any good ideas to help it would be gratefully received.

Yes plants look good in bathrooms.

I love the idea of plants in the bathroom. One of our bathrooms has peace lilly and aloe Vera that are thriving!
However the other bathroom has no window so only artificial light, so has to have artificial ones that just don't look as nice

@TheEverdelightfulsamantha & @Soproudoflionesses
I don't have bathroom windows either.
I have spider plants, money tree plant, and peace lily on an oblong tray, and the same group on a tray on kitchen windowsill. Every couple of weeks I pick them up and swap over for natural light.
They can actually go without for much longer especially spider and money tree plants, but this seems to be a good point where there's no visible stress to the plant. I'm sure there will be others that cope well with this too.

My bathroom has no natural daylight so l wouldn't know what to have in there

We have a jungle in our bathroom. We have a large shelf between the toilet abd the window (basically wheren the pipes are boxed in).

I have covered it in plants, including an enormous out of contol aloe.

There's no such thing as too many house plants!

Every room is enhanced by plants.

@Dobbyatemysocks I love your post!

I love houseplants and have 105 of them! I also have quite a few pots with a number of cacti in which I do not count individually.

I have 21 in my bathroom

I struggle to give houseplants the care they need so have very few plants indoors. I do have a spider plant in the bathroom though, and he thrives in there, plus he's very elegant and goes perfectly with the pale blue walls. I guess its down to personal taste what we all find tasteless, but I do love sharing my home with a variety of living things.

We have orchids in our bathroom, they are really beautiful, and give it a bit of a spa like feel. They're flowering at the moment which is really nice. They seem to thrive in there.

@MyLostSock you sound like me, last count I had about 50-60 plants!

I love looking after my plants after my therapist suggested getting a plant to nurture and grow, much like looking yourself.

I love nothing more than buying the most sickly plant at my local Asda (normally reduced), bringing it home and nursing it back to health.
I did this last month with a peace lily. Should have been £3.50 reduced to 99p!
I've just split it into 7 separate plants and may have to split the 2 larger ones down even more! I am quietly confident that I could have as many as 12-15 lilies by the end of July.
We've just moved into a new property and I have a conservatory now so this has been great for my plants. I have 3 types of cheese plants that started off as 3 poorly plants. Most have now been split into 3 or 4 further plants. One was a banana cheese plant that stated on the label that it would only grow to be 1metre tall - don't think my plant can read as it is now nearly 1.5 metres AND it's still growing! I think by next summer it will reach the ceiling in the conservatory.
I have just sold a separate 'swiss' cheese plant to a local garage for their reception area - I paid 50p for this plant about 4 years ago. It had one leaf on it and everyone said it would die ot now stands at over 2meters!!
I sold it for £75!!

This afternoon I have 6 hanging baskets to make up for family and friends.

My bathroom has a mix of peace lilies, ivy (fake as I love my tiles) succulents and spider plants (keeping everything crossed that she has babies)
OP, if your partner is dead set against living plants you can get some lovely fake ones. But do shop around as I've noticed a big difference in prices. Asda do some lovely little succulents in a white pot for £1 - I have them dotted around all over the place and they look great.

My plants make me smile. I've even been known to do a silly dance whenever they produce a new leaf.

Your BF is seriously weird to think they look cheap and ghastly! Wherever did he get that idea?

MyLostSock you must be really good at looking after them and love them, which makes a difference 🪴

I love plants in the bathroom. Sadly my current bathroom is very small with no space for plants, but in my last house I had a couple of maidenhair ferns in the bathroom, they were lovely.

You wouldn't enjoy my house, then! I have lost count how many house plants I have. A rough estimate would be 60-ish.

Sadly no windows in my bathroom or it would be full of plants!

I have a peace lily and an aloe in the bathroom, and a couple of other plants above the kitchen sink.

Only plants which are directly next to a water source survive in my house, else I look at them, think "that needs water!" and then forget. Rinse and repeat until the plant is dead.

I send plants on holiday to the bathroom if they're looking miserable in other parts of the house. They usually perk up in the steam and light, and then get banished back to their glum home.

I think plants belong outside. I don't like house plants (and I have a habit of killing them)

I have two Aloe Vera plants that have had babies. They seemed to like being pretty much neglected and I think they look nice.

YANBU, although personally I don't have any, I do like them when I see them in other people's houses.
