Hi I’m new to this app and plants in general, but I’m falling love! I figured this would be the best place to start- what would one recommend for a good beginner bathroom plant? Our bathroom has NO natural light, but a large counter and lots of hanging space, and outlets. Thank you in advance! 🖤💚
My bathroom doesn’t have hardly any light and I’ve had a snake plant thriving in there for 6+ months. 🤷🏻♀️🙌

I also have a half bath with no windows and I have a snake plant thats doing well. Also, welcome to the community and plant life! Everyone here is very kind and helpful and getting into caring for plants has made me so happy! Good luck!
1 like The best advice I have for you is to use your best judgement (or better yet, get a moisture meter) when Planta says to water. It’s more of a suggestion than an absolute. Overwatering is, by far, the #1 reason for my plant fails.

And they have a clip-on pot light that is ok for humid locations! A small philodendron like a heart leaf would probably be perfectly content in there with a pot clip light
0 likesDefinitely get a grow light. Ferns and jewel orchids do well with high humidity and relatively low light

You should get one of those halo planter grow lights if you want the plant to do well. No plant is happy about no light, but there are some that sort of tolerate it. Those would be peace lily, spider plant (Chlorophytum), snake plant (Sansevieria), some Philodendrons and begonias.
