Moth Orchids
This product was recommended by David Cohen from Flower Station
Moth orchids are unique and popular houseplants. Moth orchids can thrive when there is moisture in the air from showers. Since showers only get a little bit of light from windows and moth orchids like indirect light, showers are a good place for them to grow.

This product was recommended by Alex Constantinou from The Fitness Circle
Some of the most spectacular carnivorous plants are pitcher plants, which love bright light.

The Earth Stars

Staghorn Fern (Platycerium bifurcatum)

Staghorn fern is another epiphyte that naturally grows on the sides of trees, where it is exposed to indirect, moderately strong light and a lot of dampness. Staghorn fern will flourish on a plaque in your shower. For wall hangings, you may either purchase the plants already hung, or you can make your own by wiring the fern into a bed of sphagnum moss on a cedar board. Simply keep it wet.

Snake plants are perfect in any bathroom. They look aesthetically elegant, giving a relaxing ambiance during showers, especially after a long trip, a busy day at work, or managing a business.

Aloe vera
This product was recommended by Aaron Green from Essential Home and Garden
Aloe vera is a beautiful succulent that’ll thrive in your shower, and the juice from its leaves is great for your skin and hair. It’s a moisture-absorbing plant that’ll help prevent the growth of mold and mildew, two very common annoyances in bathrooms and showers. It grows best with indirect sunlight so it’s a good fit for low-light environments. One thing to keep in mind is that aloe vera plants don’t do well if overwatered. So, it’s best to raise it or hang it up to prevent too much water from splashing in the soil.

English Ivy (Hedera Helix)
This product was recommended by James Mayo from Exubia
One of the main reasons English Ivy is one of the best options for your shower room is because it helps to prevent mould and damp build-up. How? English Ivy is a plant that loves moisture like no other. As a result, it draws in vast quantities of humidity – in turn, preventing it from condensing in corners and causing mould. Another reason why it’s so great for a shower room is that it requires very little light. Because most shower rooms have opaque windows that obscure sunlight, there isn’t a wide selection of plants that can withstand the darker conditions. English Ivy however thrives in lower light conditions. Finally, it was also one of the plants identified as air purifying by NASA in their Clean Air Study in the 1990s. This makes it a great choice for those looking to ensure the air in your shower room is clean, safe and free from pollutants.
