Living landscaping can make any room more comfortable, because even the most unremarkable and small indoor plants can add their own touch of beauty and comfort. Apparently due to these properties, flowers in the bathroom, where there is no window, are very popular, although most of the plants are not able to grow fully without proper lighting. Most flower growers prefer spacious rooms with wide window sills, where seedlings or mature bushes are conveniently placed. There are varieties that prefer darkened areas, but unfortunately there are no plants that can grow and develop normally in complete darkness. But flower growers, lovers of decoration, are able to make a bathroom without windows a tropical paradise.
Decorative deciduous shade-loving plants
Any dark corner in the house can be decorated with plants with beautiful foliage, thereby bringing natural accents to the interior. To your attention a list of shade-loving indoor plants of decorative leafy type:
- Aglaonema stands out with fleshy short stalks, no more than 70 cm in height. The foliage is lanceolate and oblong, depending on the variety, the color can vary from green to variegated. Even though all aglaonema varieties tolerate shade well, the lack of light is best tolerated by specimens with green leaves. If the conditions are suitable for aglaonema, then it can throw out an ear with small flowers.
- Philodendron is a branchy creeping vine with beautiful dark green glossy leaves and airy roots. This specimen is the most unpretentious to light, but does not tolerate temperature changes, dry air and drafts. It is necessary to grow a philodendron in a large pot on the floor around the support, or in a hanging planter.
- Japanese fatsia is an evergreen shrub. Indoors, a shade-loving indoor flower is grown because of its unusual palmate, bright green, shiny and leathery leaves. The most popular are shade-tolerant variegated varieties with interesting colors, but the disadvantage is that they need a little more sun than green.
- Maidenhair is a representative of ferns. It stands out with thin creeping roots, because of which the plant was nicknamed "the Venus of the hair." On the stems there are opposite or alternate leaves with dark roots and scales near the base. Each leaf plate reaches 50 cm in width and 60 cm in length. Such varieties are perfect for the northern side of the room or for semi-dark corners.
- Fatskhedera Lise is a hybrid of Japanese Fatsia and ivy. Its large palm-lobed foliage has a dark green color, and the total size can reach 3 m. Plants of this species do not like the sun, and they tolerate drafts well, therefore they are often chosen for the hallway.
- Nephrolepis prefers partial shade, in such conditions it can grow up to three meters in diameter in 2-3 years. This bright representative of ferns stands out with small green leaves and stems growing in a bunch. Nephrolepis does not tolerate dry air, therefore it needs systematic spraying.
Lighting the bathroom correctly
For artificial lighting of the bathroom, you can use ordinary fluorescent lamps or special phytolamps.The latter are used by professional gardeners for lighting in greenhouses.
Installation of phytolamps is a more costly option, but they emit light with the desired frequency of colors, therefore, to a greater extent, they are able to compensate for sunlight.
When choosing a phytolamp, you should pay attention to the following varieties:
- Luminescent - they emit cold light, do not heat up and serve for a long time. The only negative is that flowers that prefer dim light should be placed at a distance of more than 50 cm from the lamps.
- Metal halide lamps - have a spectrum of radiation that is comfortable for any color, do not burn out for a long time, but are expensive.
A good solution would be to illuminate the bathroom with LED lamps. They emit soft, diffused light and allow flowers to be illuminated even in the most distant corners.
Palm plants and shade-tolerant large-sized plants
It is easy to decorate any secluded corner of a large room with the help of large pieces that do not like direct sunlight. Palm trees look good both alone and in an ensemble with other cultures.
- Unpretentious indoor plants that do not really need the sun are headed by a monstera. This is a fairly large flower, representing a liana. Its spreading, fan-shaped leaves with cuts can reach a length of up to 30 cm. The color can be green or variegated, and the height reaches several meters. One minus - weighty aerial roots, similar to ropes, which need support.
- Dracaena is an indoor tree plant with a gorgeous crown, consisting of thin or wide leaves. The second name of dracaena - "dragon tree" was acquired due to the unusual red juice it contains. In natural conditions, the height of the dracaena reaches 10 meters, but at home, growth slows down. Such specimens love shade, but they are just as comfortable in light rooms. The culture does not tolerate overflow, but responds well to spraying with water at room temperature.
- Ficuses of almost all types. The most shade-loving ones can be distinguished by the darkest color of the foliage. These cultures are often found in winter gardens, office buildings and spacious city apartments. Ficuses love moisture, spraying and partial shade, and their fleshy leaves should be regularly wiped with a damp sponge.
- Hamedorea is a slow growing palm tree. Many growers are familiar with the appearance of the palm tree. To maintain the beauty of the spreading crown, chamedorea should be systematically rinsed with a shower and protected from direct sunlight.
Benefit
It is important to remember that plants in a bathroom, where there is no window, not only carry an aesthetic message, but also bring undeniable benefits:
- in addition to the ability to release oxygen, thereby purifying the air, the flora in the bathroom prevents the formation of fungal formations, normalizes the microclimate, improves water and gas exchange, and absorbs microparticles of heavy metals;
- flowers with a natural aroma inherent in them deodorize the air of a room with or without a window;
- living indoor greenery is a pleasant reminder of summer, improves mood;
- flora plays an important role in the interior, making it colorful and complete.
From all of the above, the question arises: "can living vegetation grow normally and exist in a bathroom that has no windows - they can." There are varieties for which such conditions are the most acceptable and the absence of a window will not be an obstacle to enjoying their magnificent view every day.
Blooming shade-tolerant crops
As strange as it may sound, some brightly blooming crops grow well without an active sun, decorating rooms with a lack of lighting with color. They can be grown on windowsills on the north side or in a corner with an artificial lamp.

- Spathiphyllum is called “female happiness”. This species has beautiful, pointed leaves and sail-like white inflorescences. After a while, the surface of the flower turns green, and it is lost against the background of foliage. Pruning off wilting areas on a regular basis can help prolong the flowering period.
Pests must be dealt with
When wiping the leaves of shade-tolerant indoor plants from dust, you must carefully examine them for the presence of pests. For large-leaved, the danger is: spider mites and aphids.
The cobweb on the back of the leaves indicates that the plant is affected by a spider mite. This disease will lead to leaf fall. Therefore, it is necessary to fight this pest. If rubbing the leaves does not help, insecticides must be applied. As a preventive measure against spider mite damage to plants, air humidifiers or constant spraying of leaves are best suited. Because it is dry air that can cause damage to plants with this disease.
If you take good care of the plants, they will delight everyone with their beauty and help maintain a good climate in the house.

At the same time, it is necessary not to forget that at a distance of half a meter from the windowsill, the amount of light is 2 times less.
Care
The first way to create comfortable conditions for active growth is to install daylight or phytolamps. This is important given that the bathroom does not have a source of natural light and heat, like a window.
The second way to provide the flora with at least some kind of lighting is to take regular walks. In the daytime, they can be taken out where there will be plenty of light for them, and in the evening they can be brought back to their place.

What colors don't need sunlight
Absolutely all flowers and plants need sunlight, warmth and moisture. The only difference is that some flowers become more beautiful, being under the scorching sun. Other varieties feel great in darkened rooms, where rays of light rarely enter. What flowers do not need sunlight Instruction 1 Lily Spathiphyllum is the scientific name for lilies. The beautiful plant with white flowers and shiny dark green leaves prefers the shady side of the room. And the presence of yellow spots-burns on the leaves of the lily indicates that she is receiving more light than is required. Little light, but a lot of moisture is the secret to the growth and beauty of the spathiphyllum flower. 2 Zygocactus In many countries around the world, this flower is known as the Christmas cactus, as it blooms during the winter holidays. These flowers are rather picky about both light and temperature and humidity. They are able to withstand temperatures from 2 ° C to 38 ° C, but they feel better in the range 18 ° C - 30 ° C. Zygocactus are rich in a variety of colors and shapes. Besides the traditional red and white flowers, there are lavender, peach, yellow and orange flowers. This plant blooms beautifully in pots and hanging baskets. 3 Saxifrage A small plant from 5 to 50 cm in height pleases the eye with cheerful flowers and dense leaves of regular shape.

Requires abundant watering, as well as frequent feeding in the spring and summer. 5 Cineraria There is a wide variety of hybrid forms of cineraria. The most popular species have large, round leaves resembling burdocks and double, semi-double, or simple daisy-like flowers. Depending on the variety, cineraria reaches a height of 25-70 cm, and the flowers have different colors: blue, lilac, pink, orange, red and other colors. Yellow cineraria never occurs. 6 Violet or Saintpaulia is a favorite plant of many flower beds. They delight with a variety of colors, leaves and shapes. Violets do not tolerate sudden changes in temperature and drafts. They do not require bright sun, but the illumination should be uniform from all directions, so the flower can be periodically rotated on the window. Thanks to the use of artificial lighting, the violet can bloom all year round.
Choice of colors
The following plants should be considered as an addition to the interior of the bathroom:
- Large (fatsia, attractive monstera);
- Curly (philodendron, epipremnum);
- Shrub (hamedorea, aglaonema);
- Blooming (violets, Decembrists, chrysanthemums).
If the size of the room allows, then you may like a fern, ficus or hovea.These flowers are quite large, but they look great. Plus, they get along easily under the conditions of detention in the bathroom.
Without windows and phytolamps
The likelihood of meeting a window in the bathroom, as we have already said, is rather small. Plus, not everyone wants or can install phytolamps. And I want to see flowers inside this room. What should be done in this case?
In fact, we can offer three options.
- Use fresh, cut flowers. Place small bouquets in vases near a mirror, on shelves, counters, and a washing machine. If you have your own garden, or there are no problems with access to flowers, you can change the decor once a week. The presence of beautiful colors makes serious changes in the perception of the interior.
- Consider using artificial flowers. Not all of them are perceived properly, associating with certain events. Nevertheless, with the help of artificial plants, you can create magnificent decorations, hide unsightly communications, and disguise cracks that have appeared on the walls. Most importantly, they do not need to be looked after. Quality artificial flowers look great, they are a copy of living plants.
- Do not discount dried flowers. They can also be used to perfectly decorate the interior. But keep in mind that it is better to immediately treat such plants with moisture-protective compounds, otherwise they may begin to decay over time.
Location options
So, you decided to put flowers at your place, decorating the bathroom with them. But here a completely natural question arises - where to put them. Indeed, the bathroom is not a window sill that can be completely covered with flowerpots. Plus, not in every zone, flowers will be appropriate. They can simply get in the way under the arms and legs. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the optimal places where the flowers will decorate the room and not cause discomfort.
Floor. Large, tree-like plants, tall dried flowers or large bouquets of fresh flowers can be placed on the floor. It is best to choose empty corners for this, where you perform a minimum of actions. For example, many have one of the corners of the bathroom allocated for the placement of basins or pots; Window sill. Rare, but still an option. Besides, it is quite possible to create an imitation of a window. Many people install decorative frames with a window sill, creating the effect of a real window. So why not bring it even closer to the present by installing a few plants; Shelves. If you have opted for small, climbing plants, then the shelves will be the best place to place them. Choose such a height of their location so as not to cause discomfort to you. Experimenting with their location is a pleasure for those who like to decorate a room. Ladder, chess principle, steps and so on; Racks and bedside tables. Someone buys spacious furniture and half of the space is empty. So it is quite possible to occupy it with flowers. Some people specifically buy separate stands dedicated specifically for landscaping the room.
Here, as you know, it is important to have an impressive bathroom area; Cabinets. If you are unable to allocate shelves for flowers, then you can use the space on the wall cabinets.
At the same time, it is advisable not to put them under the very ceiling, otherwise leaving will cause you a lot of trouble.
Well, plants in the bathroom have every right to be placed. However, certain conditions must be met to achieve the desired result.
First of all, you must pick those flowers that will not wither after a couple of weeks. You also need to create conditions for maintaining the life and development of flowers. Keep in mind that even the most resilient plantings have their limits. And, of course, without proper care, the flower will disappear.
So act wisely and carefully. Plants should make you happy and enjoyable. Otherwise, there is no point in landscaping the bathroom.
Croton
Croton is proof that foliage can be much more beautiful and brighter than flowers. Don't overdo it with watering. Only do this when the soil surface appears dry. Croton is a plant that needs warm temperatures, then it will grow and delight you with its appearance. However, if the air temperature drops below 15 ° C, the plant begins to disappear.
Spathiphyllum
This plant came to us from the tropical forests of America, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, and the Philippine Islands.
The flower loves to be in partial shade at a temperature of 18-25 degrees. likes high humidity, however, this does not mean that it needs to be fanatically watered. Watering should be done when the soil begins to dry out. The flower loves to be sprinkled with warm water, but at the same time you need to make sure that the water does not get into the cobs. To create a humid environment around the pot, you can use trays of moss or sand and water to gradually evaporate the moisture.
A young plant can be replanted every spring by adding brick chips or charcoal to the soil. But it is better not to disturb an adult plant for 3-5 years.
Nolina
A swollen, thick trunk and curly foliage. This is a kind of plant that is ideal for growing in a corner in a sunny kitchen or living room.

Nolina grows slowly and only needs a transplant once a year or two.
Accommodation features
In order for plants for a bathroom without windows to feel comfortable, you need to find a suitable place for them. The interior of the room will also benefit from this.
- Plants with lush spreading greenery look good on special stands or pedestals. They can be the same color as the walls or have a contrasting shade.
- If the bathroom is small, ampelous plant species located on cabinets or shelves look very impressive.
- In a large room, you can arrange flowers in large pots right on the floor. And so that they do not interfere with free movement, they should be placed to the side or in a corner.
- A washing machine is not the best option for placing green spaces on it.
- Hanging pots will help out if the bathtub is small. They can be arranged randomly or staggered.
- Hanging flowers that frame the mirror on both sides look very effective. To do this, you need to nail a shelf at the top and put plants there.
- To enhance and emphasize the originality of the interior, you can use pots of the same shape, but different in color and size.
It is not recommended to place plant pots next to a sink, shower or bathtub. First, they will interfere there. Secondly, they can be splashed with water or detergents. As a result, the flower may die.
Also, don't put flowers close to heat sources. This will cause the leaves to dry out.
