From a drab bathroom to a wellness oasis - here you can find out which plants are perfect for turning your bathroom into a green paradise.
Indoor plants are a great addition to any room. They ensure a better room climate, are decorative and simply make the apartment more comfortable. Indoor plants are therefore also an absolute must in the bathroom. But not every plant is suitable for transforming the bathroom into a green oasis of well-being. The reason for this is the different site conditions that prevail in many bathrooms: Showering and bathing creates high humidity that not every plant can tolerate. The temperature in the bathroom is often higher than in the rest of the house. But the biggest limitations in the bathroom are the poor lighting conditions - many bathrooms only have a small window that hardly lets in any sunlight. You can find out which plants are still perfect for the bathroom here.
10. Mountain Palm
You don't need to travel far for maritime flair and holiday feelings - sometimes just stepping into your own bathroom is enough. Especially when the mountain palm (Chamaedorea elegans) is growing here: With its elegant, slightly overhanging fronds, the mountain palm is immediately reminiscent of sun, sea and beach. In fact, the exotic visit to the bathroom is relatively easy to care for. The only important thing is regular watering without waterlogging - that's all the mountain palm needs to be happy.
9. Orchid
The orchid (Orchidacea) is one of the most demanding, but also one of the most beautiful indoor plants. The orchid is already choosy when it comes to location: most types of orchids like a lot of light and warmth, but temperatures below 15 °C are not acceptable. High airiness is also popular with the orchid - a window seat in the warm bathroom can therefore definitely meet the high demands of the orchid. Nevertheless, you should not simply move your orchid from the living room to the bathroom, because orchids can react quite sensitively to sudden changes of location.

7. Efeutute
You only have a small bathroom and therefore no space for a sprawling houseplant? No problem - the ivy (Epipremnum) fits into every room, because it hardly takes up any space as a hanging plant.

It often has beautiful, multicolored leaves and can reach unbelievable lengths with its shoots.
Resistant, easy to care for and also extremely decorative? Anyone looking for these characteristics will certainly find what they are looking for in the cobbler's palm (Aspidistra elatior).

1. Leaflet
The single leaf (Spathiphyllum) has been one of the most popular indoor plants for a long time.
