Garden expert shares warning about toxic houseplant you could have at home [LATEST] ‘Worst mistakes’ houseplant owners make leading to their ‘demise’ [TIPS] Peace lilies bloom bigger in summer if houseplant owners do one 30-second task [GARDENING] Spider plant in the bathroom can help to prevent mould (Image: Getty) It's for this reason that the spider plant is considered to be the "perfect low-maintenance bathroom plant" - but they're not the only one. Other mould busters include ferns, bamboo, peace lilies, aloe vera, English ivy and snake plants.
James Roberts, Director of Sanctuary Bathrooms said: "When selecting the ideal plant for your bathroom, assessing the space is essential. "Bathrooms with minimal natural light, such as en-suites, WC, or cloakroom bathrooms, require plants that thrive in low-light conditions. Trending Ferns are a beautiful addition to a bathroom (Image: Getty) "Conversely, larger bathrooms, typically found in homes with multiple residents like a family bathroom, benefit from plants that require more light.
" James added: "In smaller bathrooms, or when looking to spruce up shelves or vanity spaces, opting for smaller potted plants can add a touch of greenery without overwhelming the limited space. "By carefully assessing your bathroom's lighting, size, and humidity levels, you can select the perfect plant to enhance the ambiance of your space." Ferns, for example, thrive in high humidity and can tolerate low light, so they're suitable for smaller bathrooms.
