These small bathroom plants are tough and don't need much attention. They love indirect light and a bit of humidity, which most bathrooms have plenty of.
Just don't overwater them — they like their soil on the drier side. A succulent can add a modern touch, fitting in with a minimalist or contemporary design.
Tip: If the room is very steamy and you're not great at remembering to use an exhaust fan, opt for a different plant. Succulents love a BIT of humidity, not tons of it.
Boston Ferns
Boston ferns thrive in humidity. They need a bit of indirect light and regular watering, but their lush, green fronds are worth it. They bring a bit of the outdoors inside. This makes them just great for a natural or boho design.
Tip: Ensure your room gets some natural light. If it is windowless or very dark, consider a grow light to keep your Boston fern happy and healthy.
Aloe
Not only is aloe great for your skin, but it's also a great plant for your bathroom. It loves indirect sunlight and doesn't need a lot of water, making it one of the most low-maintenance house plants for bathroom. Aloe's sleek, green leaves can add a touch of elegance to any space and fit in with almost any design style.
Tip: Aloe prefers warmer conditions, so if the room gets chilly, particularly in winter, it might not thrive. Choose a spot away from cold drafts or heaters.
Asplenium
This type of fern loves the steamy environment. It needs indirect light and a bit of moisture. Its unique, wavy leaves can add a touch of sophistication, perfect for a more traditional or elegant design.
Tip: Asplenium can grow quite large, so make sure you have enough room for it to spread out, especially if you're placing it on a countertop or shelf.
Pothos
Pothos is a hardy plant that can tolerate low light and varying levels of humidity. Its trailing vines can add a lush, cascading element to your space, and it's great for hanging baskets. It fits well in various design styles, from modern to eclectic.
Tip: It's a trailing plant, so it needs space to drape down. If you have limited counter space, think about a hanging planter or a high shelf.
Aureus
This plant, often known as golden pothos, can brighten up your space with its variegated leaves. It's easy to care for, needing only indirect light and occasional watering. Its vibrant leaves can add a pop of color to a more neutral bathroom or complement a colorful decor.
Tip: Check the color of the leaves when purchasing. Bright, variegated leaves need more light to maintain their color.

Orchids can bring a touch of luxury to your space and life. They enjoy high humidity and indirect light. With their elegant flowers, orchids are perfect for adding a bit of sophistication,and they are ideal for modern or minimalist designs.
Tip: Phalaenopsis orchids are a good, resilient choice for beginners and are more likely to thrive in the typical bathroom environment.
Asparagus Fern
Despite its name, it's not a true fern but is as resilient as one. It loves humidity and can do well with indirect light. Its feathery, light foliage can add texture and a sense of airiness to your bathroom, fitting well in both contemporary and classic designs.
Tip: Asparagus ferns can be sensitive to chemicals commonly found in tap water. If your water is heavily treated, consider using filtered or distilled water for your plant.
