Add Plant Life to the Bathroom

Plants don’t just make your bathroom look good. They can improve air quality and even increase wellbeing. Here we give you a quick guide to our favourite plants for adding the natural, healthy, touch to your bathroom.

Number 1

Hedera Helix English Ivy, Common Ivy Ideal for smaller bathrooms, English ivy will sit happily in small pots on window ledges and shelves. This gives space for their vines to trail down, putting on a display in your bathroom. Don’t let them dry out too much as they rarely recover once the leaves start to die off.

Number 2 

‘Bostoniensis’ (Boston fern) This popular fern is easy to care for and tough enough for even the most forgetful of owners. It is ideally suited to the bathroom where it will thrive in the humid conditions. The fronds of this fern can grow to 3 feet long which makes hanging baskets ideal as this will give it space to hang naturally

Number 3

Dracaena marginata Madagascar dragon tree Although this plant can grow quite tall over time, it’s slim leaves never spread out and take up space, making it ideal for sitting in the corner of your bathroom to create interest. Another tough, easy to care for option, the dragon tree will easily recover from neglect.

Number 4

Ficus Elastica India rubber tree, rubber plant If you have the space and are looking for a bathroom plant that will make a statement, the Indian Rubber Tree could be for you. It can grow to 8 ft tall if left to its own devices although will happily stay at around 1-2 ft high if kept pruned and in a smaller pot.
