Put a potted plant in the bathroom to remove odors, and it will even keep growing like crazy
Snake plant (Sansevieria)
Snake plant likes warmth and humidity, but is also drought-tolerant and shade-tolerant. Its leaves can absorb water vapor from the air, so it is quite suitable for growing in small, humid spaces and environments such as bathrooms and restrooms.
Care tips: Although snake plant likes humidity, it hates waterlogging. The bathroom itself has a lot of moisture, so there is no need to water too much, and make sure to ventilate often.
Ivy (Hedera helix)
Ivy has good shade tolerance, and its leaves have tiny stomata that can absorb harmful substances, purify the air, and kill bacteria. It is more than suitable for keeping in a bathroom or shower room.
Care tips: Although ivy is shade-tolerant, it is not good for it to go without sun for a long time. If conditions allow, place it in a spot with scattered light from time to time so it can get some light.
Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)
Lucky bamboo likes shade and humidity, is tolerant of waterlogging, and can be grown in water or in soil, so it is quite suitable for placing in the bathroom.
Care tips: In high-temperature, high-humidity summer conditions, water less. For water-cultured lucky bamboo, it is best to change the water once every week, and every so often move it out to ventilate and get light.
Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
Spider plant likes warmth and humidity, is shade-tolerant and drought-tolerant, and has low light requirements. It can also absorb toxic and harmful gases indoors. Keeping it in the bathroom helps remove odors and purify the air.
Care tips: Spider plant has low light requirements, but it cannot go completely without light. It is best to place it in scattered light, and make sure there is ventilation and air circulation.
Maidenhair fern (Adiantum)
Maidenhair fern can absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde; its small plant shape is known as the maiden's hair; it likes warmth and humidity and is suitable for semi-shaded environments, so it can be grown in a small pot beside the bathtub in the bathroom.
Care tips: If the bathroom lets in light, you can place the maidenhair fern on a north-facing windowsill or another spot that gets light, and just keep the potting soil moist.
Aspidistra (Cast iron plant)
Aspidistra is extremely shade-tolerant and likes a warm, humid, semi-shaded environment. Its leaves can absorb formaldehyde, hydrogen fluoride, carbon dioxide, and more, and can also adsorb dust, giving it a good effect in purifying the air and preventing dirt and dust.
Care tips: Watering once every half a month to about 1 month is enough. It is extremely shade-tolerant but cannot go without light for a long time. During the stage when new leaves sprout and grow, move it to a place with bright light for care.
Peace lily (Spathiphyllum)
Peace lily likes humidity and shade. Through transpiration, it can absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and toluene, as well as waste gases exhaled by people such as ammonia and acetone. It is quite sensitive to humidity, so it can be kept in the bathroom.
Care tips: Peace lily is quite sensitive to humidity, so spray water on the leaves often to maintain air humidity, but the potting soil must not be too wet, as it easily causes root rot.
