1. Sansevieria (mother -in -law language)
The first choice for those who love plants but often forget to water them.
Sansevieria is almost indestructible. It grows well in rooms with little light, it is not sensitive to temperature changes and does not fear high humidity, on the contrary, it rejoices it pleasantly. Place it on a shelf or on the floor and forget it (but not for too long). Ideal for those who “water” for him is synonymous with rain.
2. Zamiifolia Zamioculcas (Vezz Place)
A plant that seems artificial, but breathes.
The Izz plant has fleshy and shiny leaves that are not only beautiful to look at, but also have an excellent ability to retain humidity. For this reason, it tolerates irregular watering, but thrives where there is little light and a lot of humidity. A bathroom without direct light? No problem. Just be careful not to overturn it every day: the less it is better.
3. Golden epipremnum (Pothos)
A green waterfall with a hanging basket that also revives the most aseptic bathroom.
Pothos is a climbing plant that will quickly create a mini jungle effect in the bathroom. He loves wet air, grows quickly and indirect light is sufficient. If you have a small window or the natural light is only occasional, it will be enough for him. And the best? Forgive me for some negligence.
4. Chlorophytum Comosum (Ragno plant)
A vegetable -based classic that never goes out of fashion.
A spider in the bathroom is like a fish in the water, literally. He loves the damp air and is not misunderstood as regards the light. If he ever gets bored, he will delight you with small “puppies” that you can easily plant nearby. The right plant for beginners and for all those who love aesthetic a little retro.
5. Spathiphyllum (Giglio della Pace)
If a plant was a Zen master, it would be Spatifillo.
Spatifillo thrives in conditions of poor lighting and high humidity, just where the steam on the mirror still persists after the shower. Every now and then I delight you with a flower that seems to have come out of an expensive floral composition. The only requirement? He loves to be watered regularly. But no dramas: he will clearly tell you when he is thirsty.
6 Nephrolepis exaltata (Felce di Boston)
A tropical romantic that loves steam more than the bathtub.

Boston’s ferns love intense, but not direct light, and high humidity, needs for which a bathroom is more than enough. Place it on a shelf or hang it on top of the bathtub and look at it gently to sway any movement of the air. Just water it regularly and make sure you never dry completely.
7. Aspidistra Elatior (cast iron plant)
The name is not accidental: this plant is practically indestructible.
The cast iron plant tolerates negligence, poor lighting and occasional watering. In fact, it is happier when you leave it alone. It will shine in the bathroom thanks to the high humidity, but the dry air will also not damage it much. It is slow but reliable, like a good friend.
8. Aglaonema (Chinese evergreen)
A plant with personality: each variety is like a new fashion accessory.
Aglaonema loves humidity, it does not stand direct sunlight and, even better, it is available in a range of colors that will also revive the most monotonous bathroom. The varied leaves are a real joy for the eyes and do not require a lot of light. If the bathroom light is widespread or the window is lactiginous, this is the perfect choice for her.
9. Filodendro
A green chameleon to which it doesn’t matter where it grows, as long as it is dry.
Filodendro is a plant with a thousand faces: from graceful leaves to luxurious climbing. Most of the species grow well in shady and humid areas, so they will find themselves almost comfortable in the bathroom. He does not like direct sunlight, so the ideal is the diffused light. An excellent choice for those who love the atmosphere a little more “jungle”.
