Bathroom plants: questions people ask.

Do bathroom plants need a window?

They need some daylight. A frosted or small window is fine. In a windowless bathroom, a bright overhead light left on during the day is the minimum.

Is the humidity really good for them?

For ferns, calatheas and similar tropicals, yes. Shower steam gives them the moist air most homes lack, especially in winter.

Are any of these safe for pets?

Several are. Look for the Pet-safe chip on the card, or tap Pet-safe in the filter bar.
