hello do you have any ideas or experiences related to plants for a very dark bath room? I am kinda scared to just randomly try a plant and kill it with those circumstances

    Artificial lol.

    My upstairs bathroom is windowless (technically it does have a window, but previous owner covered it up), and I tried several low-light styles, and none of them did well even leaving the light on all the time.

    If you are able to put a grow light in there with it, you may have some luck. Ferns would love the humidity.

      You might have been joking, but this is the best answer. All plants need a decent amount of light, so they either need a grow light or rotating out. Or just get a plastic one instead and save the poor thing a life of misery.

        Observational humor. lol. Was definitely serious, though. I have a similar windowless bathroom that has proven to be quite inhospitable to every low-light plant I’ve tried to put there.

          I replied before your edit, so now I look like I can’t read!

          I had some artificial plants that were so convincing that it was a struggle to get people to stop watering them.

    I have three spider plants that used to take turns spending a month in the windowless bathroom. They’re all fine. There was at least some sunlight coming in from the surrounding rooms though.
