Which Plants Can Survive in a Dark Bathroom? 10 Best Low-Light Choices

Many people dream of turning their bathroom into a relaxing, spa-like sanctuary—and nothing transforms a plain space more beautifully than houseplants. But what if your bathroom has little to no natural light? Many bathrooms lack windows entirely, or have only a small frosted window that barely lets any light through. At first glance, that might make it seem impossible to keep real plants alive.

Fortunately, there are a number of hardy indoor plants that thrive in low-light, high-humidity environments, making them perfect candidates for dark bathrooms. In fact, some plants prefer indirect light, tolerate shade for long periods, and love the extra moisture in the air from hot showers.

We break down the top 10 plants that grow well without direct sunlight, plus care tips to help them thrive even in your dimmest bathroom.
