Plants in the bathroom

19/04/2022 | Green Wellness, Inspiration

That’s true! Plants in the bathroom are a trend topic phenomenon.
Well, it is a fashion that is coming back.
Plants in the bathroom were very popular in the 70s and today this trend has become fashionable once again!

But is it healthy to have plants in the bathroom?
Absolutely yes!

Because bathroom, with its high humidity, recreates an ideal environment for some plants.
It is also true that not all bathrooms are the same. There are small bathrooms and therefore with little space. There are very bright bathrooms and windowless ones. 

Shortly, conditions can be different and it means that more aspects have to be considered when you choose the plant, and the relative pot, of course!

 

Any suggestions? Let’s get started right away!

 👉 If we have a bathroom with good brightness, we can choose an aloe vera, an always useful plant to have at home. We all know the benefits of this plant and its leaves, ideal, for example to relieve pain in case of wounds or burns.
For an aloe, the best soil is sandy and a clay bottom is always recommended to allow drainage. Better not to use saucers because they could create a stagnation that aloe does not tolerate.
ATTENTION 😎 We suggest you to avoid direct light because the leaves cannot bear it!

👉 If we have a windowless bathroom, let’s choose a sansevieria: a strong and very resistant plant even in environments where there is no proper air exchange.

👉 If we have a particularly humid bathroom, we should put the orchid. Always a beautiful plant, also in the bathroom We have often talked about it.
Orchids are plants that grow very well in humidity, but be careful because they need a lot of light.
Another plant that loves humidity is the fern.

👉 In our bathroom we can have also the pothos, which are very strong plants. The pothos is always a good choice… even for black thumbs!  It is a plant that grows both in windowless and bright bathrooms, capable of thriving in any light condition. For details do not miss this content!

USEFUL TIPS
– Let’s avoid spraying perfumes or soaps on plants because they can be corrosive.
– Watering must be moderate! We already have a humid environment in the bathroom and our tip is to give water only when the soil is dry to the touch.
-Let’s regularly clean the foliage of the plants because it uses to be more and more dirty in the bathroom.
– Once the plants have been chosen, let’s choose the right pots: they must have the appropriate size for the plant but also for the spaces. For a relaxing effect we suggest soft, neutral colors – such as those from the NATURALIA or UNICA line. For a smart effect, on the contrary, maybe in a small and slightly dark bathroom, let’s choose the colors of Mymood!

They are just inputs… we all know that every plant has its own pot  🌱
Let’s not forget that certain plants help to improve the quality of the air by absorbing the volatile toxic substances released in the bathroom (and not only!), for example, by detergents, perfumes or cleanings.
If this topic interests you, here you will find some more details.

So, are you ready to green your space with plants and pots?
Enjoying a bit of greenery between a bath and a beauty routine can make the difference! Green has a beneficial influence on the human mind, it helps us to be more relaxed and optimistic!
