What plants are best placed in the bathroom? A roundup of flowers suitable for growing there

In cities, high-rises stand everywhere, and land in cities is worth its weight in gold. Being able to buy an apartment in the city is no easy feat for anyone, and many bathrooms in city homes are dim and damp. We bathe and use the toilet in them every day, and bathrooms with poor ventilation and light are often dripping wet. As a result, bathrooms also easily develop odors.

Today Hua'er Gu would like to introduce a few green plants that are very suitable for growing in the bathroom. Keeping a few pots in the bathroom not only beautifies the space but also absorbs odors in the air and improves the bathroom environment; some green plants can even make your bathroom drier. Let's take a look below at which plants are suitable for growing in the bathroom.

Snake plant

Why introduce the snake plant first? Because the leaves of the snake plant can absorb water vapor in the air, which does a great job of keeping the bathroom dry! In addition, the snake plant can effectively remove odors in the bathroom, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen peroxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ether, ethylene and other harmful substances. At the same time, even at night, the snake plant can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen! With such powerful benefits, placing a few pots of snake plant in the bathroom can greatly improve the air quality there. Isn't the snake plant impressive? If you grow one at home, why not try putting it in the bathroom and see the effect.

Tips:

The snake plant is very adaptable, but if your bathroom is very dark with insufficient light, it is recommended to take it out for a week of care outside every week and then put it back! The humidity in the bathroom is very high, so when placed in the bathroom it should be watered sparingly. If your bathroom has relatively good light, you can confidently keep the snake plant in the bathroom; just occasionally take it out to the balcony for some care and sunlight.

Aloe

Placing a few pots of aloe in the bathroom can effectively absorb odors in the bathroom. Because of the dark and damp environment of the bathroom, aloe placed there can almost go without watering.

Tips:

Be careful not to place aloe where direct sunlight reaches. If your bathroom is very dark, do not leave the aloe inside for too long; put it outside once a week to get some light. Only then can its odor-absorbing effect be enhanced.

Pothos

To remove odors in the bathroom, placing a few pots of pothos can greatly improve the air. At the same time, pothos is fairly shade-tolerant, and its ability to absorb harmful gases is also very strong, so placing it in the bathroom is simply ideal.

Tips:

If the bathroom is dark inside with insufficient light, it needs to be taken out for a day or two each week to get some light; otherwise, going without light for a long time will cause the pothos leaves to turn yellow. Because the humidity in the bathroom is high, pothos placed in the bathroom should be watered sparingly or not at all.

Ivy

Another plant quite suitable for growing in the bathroom is ivy! Ivy itself is a shade plant and likes damp environments. Placing a pot of ivy in the bathroom can also kill bacteria and purify the air. Its effect is excellent too.

Tips:

Ivy is not tolerant of severe cold, saline-alkali and other chemical substances, so we must be careful not to get shampoo, soap foam and the like onto its flowerpot or leaf surfaces, to avoid causing irreparable damage.

Lemongrass

Lemongrass has a bactericidal and antiviral effect, with a cool, refreshing lemon fragrance. It likes high temperatures and damp environments, and many people like to grow it in the study and the bathroom; its effect on removing odors is very powerful.

Tips:

Lemongrass is rather afraid of drought and freezing, and does not like sandy soil or alkaline soil, though it is not strict about other soils. So when growing it in the bathroom, be careful not to let the flowerpot accumulate water, and do not let it lack water either. For lemongrass, choose potting soil with good air permeability as much as possible.

Of course, here at Hua'er Gu we also want to tell everyone: although many green plants are relatively shade-tolerant and can survive for a long time in dark environments, we still cannot leave them in a dark, lightless environment without moving them for long periods, because doing so will cause poor plant growth. If your bathroom does not have enough light, Hua'er Gu suggests growing a few more pots so it is convenient to alternate placing them in the bathroom.
