Top Picks for the Bathroom
The bathroom is a great space for an aspiring indoor gardener. Often a space that's left out of the decorating budget, plants are a perfect addition as they'll thrive in a humid spot.

Best for a well lit bathroom
While they might grow as high as six metres in the wild, indoors corn plants are more about character than size, providing a bit of tropical flavour even on grey days. Rick loves moisture and it helps to keep him fresh, which makes him the perfect bathroom addition.
Felicity might originally come from the rainforest, but she will fit right in, in your urban jungle. She thrives in a moist environment, so a steamy bathroom is her ideal home. As one of our most striking houseplants, she had to make our list for bathroom blooms.
Julien, also known as the peacock plant is, as you’d imagine, a big show-off. Its leaves look like they’ve been painted with big strokes of green, while the underside is tinged with red. He adores lots of light and humid conditions so is the perfect addition to your well lit bathroom.
A newer addition to the Patch range, Petra has quickly become a firm favourite. Not only does her lava base make her look strikingly sculptural, it also makes her extra easy to care for.
Aeschynanthus, or as he is known at Patch, Jethro, is found in steamy forests across the eastern hemisphere. He’s from the tropics so he loves a moist environment and will feel right at home in your bathroom.
Best for a dimly lit bathroom
Bertie, the Boston Fern, really really loves humidity. Like a lot of ferns, she’s used to living in partial shade, so she’s ideal for a room with lower light and she will happily bask in the steam in your bathroom.
Plants with variegated leaves can often be a little high maintenance, but apparently nobody told Lizzie, our Marble Queen pothos. In the wild she thrives in dark places and is almost impossible to kill, making her a very low maintenance queen. She loves a moist environment, so will be very happy to reign in a bathroom.
Theodora, the String of nickels, helps build the perfect rainforest at home. She loves moist air and as she’s used to living in the shade of the forest, she doesn’t need much light. She’ll enjoy living in a low lit, steamy bathroom and is perfect for the less confident plant parent.
Known as Venus hair fern for the way her delicate long leaves gently waft in the breeze, Venus is native to tropical regions around the world, which means she likes a large amount of moisture. She’s a fantastic plant for a bathroom, where she can enjoy the regular steam.
Anna, the Chinese evergreen, comes from South-East Asia, where you'll find her modestly basking in the dappled light under large tropical trees, which makes her the perfect plant for a low lit bathroom. In China, Anna is considered a lucky plant! We can't promise she will bring you great fortune, but it's worth a try.
