I would like to put a plant in my bathroom. It has a tiny bit of filtered light. (Its on the north side of the house...little little light......but not dark).  
Any ideas?

I have a large northern window with a privacy screen in my bathroom and tried plants in there and nothing thrived. Pothos did fine so did spiders but I had them hanging right up in the window.

Rotation! I have 3-4 plants I’ll swap throughout the year. Any plant that dies slow will do. 2-3 months and rotate. You might just find one that thrives ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

I think a snake plant would do well.

You can add a grow light if you need it. I've kept ficus, african violets, ferns, begonias, alocasias, and orchids (mostly phals and mounted mini species) successfully in a bathroom. (My window is on the west though.)

Probably nothing will thrive without a grow light. I like the 10 watt pot clip on lights from Sansi. I use them all the time.

I would say pothos, I have one and I have little to no light in my bathroom, I just take it out every once in a while to give it some light
