Plants for a windowless bathroom

[lavenderscenteddrawerliners]

Ok so I know this isn't gardening as such, but you are all the best people to ask. I'm moving into a property that has no bathroom window. Will my spider plant (or any other plants) survive? I will need to leave the bathroom door wide open when not in use, so there should be a little bit of light in.

Could the spider plant be moved to a lighter spot once or twice a week? I do that with a couple of plants and they have been healthy for several years.

Pop it on a windowsill in the morning and move it back after work or whatever.

No plant will survive in a windowless bathroom, unless, as above, you move them onto a window sill at times. Spider plants are about as resilient as you can get, but even they need some natural light.

Yes, this is the only way.,

You could use a plant grow lamp, although from an aesthetics perspective I’d rather not. Snake plant with door left open/light left on sometimes? Mini breaks to a windowsill?

Thanks all, definitely doable to move them around. I have a snake plant too so will put that in there too.

For once in my life I got some false plants for my windowless d/s loo. With nice pots they look fine. No maintenance, and everyone knows but I don't care, because real plants don't grow in the dark anyway.

Sacrilege! Heretic! Be damned! 😊

Lego plants!

Have two plants the same, one for the bathroom and one for a windowsill. Swap them over at regular intervals. Nothing will grow in complete darkness

I'll be getting a fake trailing plant to hide a very ugly shaving outlet socket. I join you in the heretic club 🌿

I'd just get dried flowers in a vase or if you like them a fake plant. A plant deserves and needs light.

I grow a spider plant and a a few pothos varieties in a windowless downstairs loo. I put a grow bulb in the ceiling light and leave it on most of the day.

ZZ plants (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) will be okay. They'll survive, but not thrive. It may etiolate (get leggy/sparse with leaves) so you could rotate two, or move it into the sun for a day every other week (that frequency is entirely unscientific - try a few things to see what it likes).

You can get fake houseplants that look remarkably realistic these days, so maybe look for something like that.

I confess I went to IKEA and bought a couple of really nice fake plants. No chance anything would survive in my downstairs loo, barely any light gets in, even with the door open.

My friend has an amazing collection of lego plants in her windowless bathroom...
