60 bathroom plants that want humid air
These are the catalogue’s high-humidity species whose coldest temperature is 12 °C or more: warm, damp air and no cold nights. A bathroom supplies the humidity for nothing; what it does not supply is light, so in a windowless room the light tier is the column that decides.
In the table, watering runs from 2 to 14 days at medium light, and every one of them wants humid air.
