You thought that plants could be in any room except the bathroom. You were deeply mistaken. It turns out that green plants can feel great in the bathroom too.

What conditions should be in the bathroom to keep indoor plants in it?
So the most important thing is lighting. Many people think that some plants can fully grow and reproduce in the complete absence of light, but this is a false statement. The presence of sunlight for any plant is necessary. Well, or at least artificial lighting should be mandatory.
The presence of a window is a desirable condition for a bathroom. Through it, the plant will receive the minimum dose of sun, and besides, placing flowers on the windowsill is much more convenient than, say, on the floor.
What if there is no window in the bathroom
Do not despair, this problem is easily solved by installing an artificial light source. Their role can be played by fluorescent lamps, which are completely lowered to be left on around the clock. Thanks to this, the plants will receive the necessary amount of light.
In addition to daylight lamps, you can use fitolamps created specifically for plants. Most often they are installed in greenhouses or other premises where plants need additional light.
An alternative option would be to temporarily stay flowers in the bathroom, that is, they can be moved to a balcony or another room for a day, and returned to the bathroom again at night.
Do the same with flowering plants. Take them to the bathroom for the flowering period, where their color is prolonged. After flowering, they are returned to their original place. In practice, it has been proven that plants bloom longer in the bathroom, this is due to the lack of direct sunlight.
