    Any ideas? I'm after a plant that will go crazy in the bathroom. It needs to have a small footprint to fit between the bog and the sink, but it would be kind of cool if it could fan out at the top, so I'm thinking something that is naturally a climber.

    A cheese plant sprung to mind, but I think maybe the leaves would be too big, and they'd get in the way a bit perhaps, but that sort of thing.

    Stephanotis? It needs to be near a window for brightness though.

      I can only offer it a fairly average size north west facing window.

      I don't think that will be enough light Clueless. I know Spider plants are not that popular now but they always do well in a bathroom and you could put that in a hanging basket from the ceiling. It's babies would trail eventually. :)

        Sis has got one that does well in low light and drops flowers all over the laptop, not into houseplants but I think it might be a rosary something or other.

          What about a Stags horn fern, could be grown in a hanging basket

            Tradescantia pallida "Purpurea". A friend of mine has one growing around her kitchen window. It grows fairly quickly, but would need some training.

            If it bombs, put it in a hanging basket next year.

              A trialing type Philodendron?
              They can be grown up some sort of moss/fibre pole.

                Rosary vine, Ceropegia woodii and yes it is very messy but also very pretty.
