Bathroom Plants That Thrive 

Nothing brings fresh life into a bathroom like real plants. However, the wide range of humidity and limited natural light of the typical bathroom aren’t conducive to all kinds of greenery.

Benefits of Adding Plants to the Bathroom 

Beyond the obvious visual appeal of greenery in the home bathroom, there are many other benefits to using plants in that space. Here are some of the potential advantages you can enjoy:
