And should you at all? The answer is – yes. Flowers bring a unique atmosphere to the bathroom, grow beautifully, and produce oxygen. Besides, introducing flowers to the bathroom also positively affects the flowers themselves. In other rooms of the house, the air is usually dry, especially in winter, or rather from the start of the heating season. The bathroom is a place where humidity prevails. The greenery of the flowers will bring beauty to our bathroom and make each bath even more relaxing.
Plants in the bathroom
If we decide on plants in our bathroom, we must take certain steps to ensure everything is orderly. First, we should carefully consider where to place a potential pot or plant stand. If we have a large space, we can attempt to cover larger areas with greenery or dedicate one of the shelves to green flowers or place one large-sized flower. A windowsill or a wall-mounted plant stand is also an interesting solution. An important element in this endeavor is also placing the flowers so that they have access to light, and placing them in a spot where they won't be knocked over during daily toilet activities. Once we have greenery in the bathroom, we must also remember to protect it from chemicals.
As for light for the plants in the bathroom, it is best if it's an open space with a large amount of it. But what if both the bathroom and the window are small? Then you need to choose an optimal solution and place the plant as close as possible to the light source. If the bathroom doesn't have a window, it's better to forgo pot flowers. An alternative would be cut flowers, equally beautiful and creating a unique atmosphere. You just need to remember to change their water regularly. You can also opt for preparations that, when added to the water with flowers, extend their lifespan in the vase.
What kind
In the case of bathrooms with a window or a lot of light, papyri, ficuses, or dracaenas, as well as ivies, zamioculcas, and even orchids will work great.
If someone insists on a potted flower in a bathroom with minimal light, it should be remembered to periodically swap it for another one. Take the one from the bathroom to a window in a room for a few days and bring the one from the room to the bathroom.
In the case of cut flowers, there are generally no restrictions. We insert what we like and what harmonizes with the arrangement. These can even be ornamental leaves instead of flowers.
What else is important
Flowers in the bathroom should be cared for just as diligently as those in other rooms. The fact that they stand in a place dominated by humidity does not mean that they shouldn't be watered regularly. Additionally, if they require fertilization, we should do so. We should also ventilate the bathroom, where remnants of cleaning agents linger daily. Let's also remember that there is dust in the bathroom. So let's wipe the leaves of our flowers from time to time. In winter, when days are shorter, ensure the flowers are as close to light as possible. If this isn't possible, move them to another place for the winter season, so they can return to our bathroom in full glory in spring. If the bathroom doesn't have a window, remember that plants can be supplemented with light. LED bulbs work great in this respect.
Artificial flower for the bathroom
Although artificial flowers don't have a good reputation, they are worth considering. A good quality artificial flower won't spoil it as it will bear a striking resemblance to a living flower. It may prove to be not only practical but also stylish. Just choose a slightly more expensive but perfectly made artificial flower. Several important aspects make such a choice attractive. If you have a dark bathroom and don't have time to take in and out flowers or arrange fresh cuts, an artificial flower will be your savior. If there are animals in the house that like to nibble on leaves, there's no better solution than an artificial flower. Don't have a green thumb, and all your plants die, even those with plenty of light? Here's the solution to your problems. If your life revolves around travel, or if you have an allergy sufferer in the house, an artificial flower will work best for you.
As you can see, flowers in the bathroom are a wonderful idea. They bring a relaxing atmosphere to it, are very impressive and incredibly beautiful. Even artificial ones, of good quality, will transform its interior beyond recognition. When choosing flowers, let's also remember to select those appropriate to the bathroom's size and height. Too large in a small bathroom will only spoil its appearance, reduce the amount of space, and will surely be knocked over by those in the room. This will certainly not benefit the plants themselves. So let's fit them to harmonize with our bathroom's arrangement and size.
Plants in the bathroom are a wonderful thing. They are as valuable an element as other accessories carefully selected during its furnishing.
