# Looking for suggestions for a plant to suit this spot in my guest…

_Gepostet von Andrea A am 2025-07-12_

Looking for suggestions for a plant to suit this spot in my guest toilet (powder room):  
\- small north-facing window (and I live in a Northern European country), so it gets light but not much direct sun (it is nighttime in the photo)  
\- window ledge space is only 40 cm high (15,5”)  
\- width and depth are about 50 cm (20”)

So the plant can spread out (but not hang), just can’t grow very tall. It stays reasonably warm year round in this bathroom, but not much extra humidity as no bath/shower, and even the sink isn’t used a whole lot.

I was successful with a fern, but it got too tall. Not successful with coleus. Recommendations?

Ludisia discolor. It's a small terrestrial orchid that's easy to grow, perfect for these conditions, and has wonderful leaf patterning. And blue oil fern might do well; the leaves tend to droop down and the weak light would show off the blue nicely
