I need a plant for a narrow tall bathroom window sill, north facing but still always feels pretty bright, there’s another larger window as well (used to be separate toilet & bathroom I think, originally). I did have a spider plant there, but she didn’t like it and got all bleached out and sad looking. She’s much happier now, greener and perkier, on a shelf about 2m from the windows.

I was thinking perhaps a multi stem dragon tree Dracaena Fragrans? Would that be ok?

Any other suggestions?

I want my bathroom to feel like a jungle eventually. Just budget wise have to grow(!) the collection one plant at a time!

I bought a philodendron for our NW facing living room, right by the window. It’s so happy that it’s now seven feet tall and only stopped growing mid December and right now is going mental again. They’re beautiful and very I-live-in-a-jungle.

I’ve just bought another corn plant for the bathroom because the last one got root rot, I didn’t water it very often and did a soil check so I’m not sure what the issue was but it was a lovely plant to have in there. We are very light-lacking in our flat but for almost a year it was a great bathroom plant but I’m still very much team philodendron for tall, tight spaces.

I have an African milk plant in my tall narrow window. It gets some sun. It has grown from about 20cm to over a metre in 2 years. It looks great in the window.
