Moisture and mold are common issues affecting many households. Mold, an undesirable side effect of warmth and humidity, can significantly impact both health and the aesthetic appeal of a home.
Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent mold growth in the bathroom, as is proper room ventilation. However, there’s another way to reduce humidity and mold in the bathroom, and it involves placing the right plants.
Most plants release moisture through their leaves, but some are highly effective against humidity and can capture moisture from the air. Here are the top 7 plants to place in the bathroom to reduce humidity levels and eliminate bad odors:
1. Asparagus Fern (Asparagus officinalis)
This plant is excellent at combating humidity when placed in the bathroom. It can last for many years and thrives in temperatures ranging from 25°C to 7°C.
Avoid direct sunlight exposure by placing it behind a window or near the shower.
2. Begonia
Begonias thrive in humid conditions. They produce vibrant flowers and are perfect for adding a decorative touch to the bathroom.
Avoid exposing begonias to direct sunlight, and during colder months, water them once a week.
3. Aspidistra
This resilient indoor plant can grow and beautify any bathroom. With its intense green leaves, it captures moisture and helps neutralize unpleasant odors.
4. Ivy (Hedera helix)
Common ivy, or Hedera helix, is a climbing plant that can reach a height of ten meters. It produces small green flowers during spring.
Avoid direct sunlight exposure and prevent water stagnation. With proper care, ivy is one of the most effective plants for eliminating excess moisture in the bathroom.
5. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
