Choose a Plant for Your Bathroom

Plants can not only help clean the air but they also add an inexpensive bit of decor to a small space. Choosing a plant for the bathroom is not as simple as placing anything in the room and hoping for the best. Read on to learn how to choose a plant for your bathroom.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Assess the light level of your bathroom. Does your bathroom have a window or is most of the light artificial? The answer to this question will help determine how successful your plant will be in this space.

  2. Step 2

    Determine your level of commitment to the plant. Are you looking for a plant that can go long periods of time without attention or are you willing to give it care on a regular basis? Since you will undoubtedly see it everyday, the answer to this question might be a no-brainer.

  3. Step 3

    Decide how much you are willing to spend. Since this is a small space your plant will likely be small as well. Even still, I've seen small potted indoor plant for $25.00 at Lowes. Set a dollar amount that is within your budget.

  4. Step 4

    Take the answers to these three questions to your local garden center. When you speak with a sales clerk, let her know that these are the things you require of an indoor plant. Use these steps to minimize the drain on your wallet that comes from learning about indoor plants through trial and error.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't be tempted to try more than one plant at a time.
