Add life to your bathroom with these easy-care favourites from Aumann’s
Looking to green up your bathroom? Whether it’s a spa-like oasis or a compact powder room, adding indoor plants can boost your space with natural beauty, improve air quality, and even enhance your mood. But not all plants thrive in low-light, humid conditions—so we’ve rounded up five perfect plant picks that love the bathroom life.
Here are our top recommendations, all available at Aumann’s Building and Garden Supplies:
1. Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Also known as Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, this sculptural plant is one of the toughest around. Snake plants tolerate low light, high humidity, and infrequent watering—perfect for the bathroom! Their upright, variegated leaves add structure and a bold pop of green to any corner or vanity.
Care Tip: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. A monthly drink is often enough!
2. Zanzibar Gem (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
The glossy, dark green leaves of the Zanzibar Gem are stunning and practically indestructible. This plant is known for thriving on neglect, and it’s ideal for bathrooms with minimal natural light.
Care Tip: Water sparingly. Too much water is the only real way to kill this hardy beauty.
3. Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
Spider plants are cheerful and easy-going, with arching green-and-white leaves and tiny plantlets that cascade down like a natural mobile. They love steamy bathrooms and are great in hanging pots or on high shelves.
Care Tip: Keep soil slightly moist and trim brown tips as needed to keep it looking fresh.
4. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
Pothos are trailing vines that grow beautifully in low light and humid conditions, making them a bathroom favourite. Their heart-shaped leaves come in green, variegated, or golden tones, adding colour and life to tiled walls and shelving.
Care Tip: Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. They’re very forgiving!
5. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
If you’re after a plant with blooms, the Peace Lily is for you. It’s one of the best low-light flowering plants around and thrives in warm, moist environments—aka your bathroom.
Care Tip: Peace lilies like regular watering, but don’t let them sit in soggy soil. Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them shiny and healthy.
