Which? .... Bathroom plant?

It's me again!

In my bathroom in front of the basin I have a window (instead of the traditional mirror - see pic) and I would like to put a nice plant there. Any suggestions?

 

My Uncle has a staghorn fern in his bathroom - looks great and thrives on the steamy conditions.

Your bathroom looks similar to mine and I have a fern growing in the windowsil:thumb:

 

My bathroom is the same with a window over the basin, i have one of these


It seems quite happy there.

 

we had one of these living in our bathroom, it seemed to enjoy the hummidity. unfortunatley it moved house when me and an ex split up!! I wonder how the plants going on?????????

ohh I do like that carnivorous plant in the link! But There isnt much space to let the traps hang down!

I d like something not too wild and going upwards!

 

sorry pinkfinger, I'm on a pc at work and it won't let me look at the photo you posted!! I'll have a look tomorrow!

 

I have a cactus on my window ledge! It is lovely, and seems to enjoy it's aspect!

I hadn't thought about you wanting something growing up the way - for some reason, I imagined a hanging basket type of macrami holder with something trailing!

 

Why not a good old fashioned Spider plant

 

A phalaenopsis orchid would enjoy it there and would look great too.

 

I have 3 of those Orchids in the house already, they are lovely. One of them (a very tall one) I bought it at a clerance Sainsbury a couple of months ago for I think a tenner and since then it still has lovely flowers.

Today I went to the garden centre and got a lovely peace lily for the bathroom I will try and post a pic later. Thanks for all the suggestions I have other ideas for them but I will keep you posted when I materialize them.

I also treated myself to the Mother in Low Tongue :D
and a Beaucarnea!

It's not exactly what you call "gardening" but I did enjoy the shopping :p and they do look lovely and it just makes you feel good to have plants around the house!

 

be careful, did you check the zones???:confused:

A window sill that close to the sink is definatly zone 1.

Oh, no sorry, my mistake, that bathroom lighting zones!!:rolleyes::D

 

Glen you almost gave me a heart attack! :eek:

Here is a pic of my new lily in the bathroom
