Whether you're renting or you've just completed a swanky reno a hit of greenery will add some personality to your space. Most plant novices are under the impression you need lots of indoor light to ensure your plants won't die, but this isn’t always the case.

Below we've selected a mix of low-light and partial-light varieties that all have one thing in common, they like things on the hot and humid side, making them perfect any bathroom (yes even if it’s practically midnight 24/7).

Not much room? Go for a hanging plant. Varieties such as heart-leaf philodendron, staghorn, ferns and air plants look great up high and in full view.

Feature pot

If you're working with more space, a large potted-plant will make an impact. Go for a larger variety such as a Bird of paradise, Philodendron monstera or a Kentia palm.

This one is for the seasoned plant enthusiast who's run out of shelf space in the rest of their place. Use dead spaces, like under your sink, to create a bathroom jungle. The best part is the low-light varieties aren’t into competing for a converted space on your crowded windowsill that sun-worshipers like so there's room for all.
