Create a botanical spa oasis in your bathroom with plants
Plant bathing: the new trend for a green bathroom!
Have you heard of plant bathing? This emerging trend is inspired by the concept of forest bathing, which has its origins in Japan. In Japanese it is called shinrin-yoku, which literally means "bathing in the forest atmosphere." The idea is simple: surround yourself with the calming energy of nature to feel better. So why not bring that relaxation into your own home? By filling your home with plants, you can create a calm, harmonious space that does your wellbeing good.
Bathing among the plants
Having plants around you is not just lovely, it is incredibly healthy too! The ideal place to surround yourself with greenery? Your bathroom! This is the room where the humid air and warm temperatures are perfect for a lot of houseplants. Turn your bathroom into a botanical oasis and enjoy a real spa experience, right at home.
Can you picture it? All sorts of tropical plants turning your bathroom into a lush green jungle where you can relax and escape the rush of the day for a moment. Plant bathing is the way to wake up your senses and bring a touch of nature into your daily routine.
Which plants are suitable for the bathroom?
Not every plant loves the humid conditions of a bathroom, but happily there are plenty of species that do brilliantly in this environment. Whether you are after a plant that needs little maintenance or one that asks for a bit more care, there is something for everyone.
Do bear in mind that even in the bathroom, plants need light. Make sure enough natural light reaches the room, because no plant can survive without it.
5 plants that will easily survive in the bathroom
- Peace lily (Spathiphyllum) – this air-purifying plant feels completely at home in humid rooms.
- Aloe vera – loves light and does perfectly well in the humid atmosphere of a bathroom.
- Orchid – beautiful, exotic and very fond of a warm, humid spot.
- Sansevieria (snake plant) – almost indestructible and copes well with low light.
- Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) – easy to look after and a lovely eye-catcher for the bathroom.
