Can i put orchids in the bathroom.
Orchids like humidity this does not mean douse your orchid in water all day every day.
Or that s right grow them in the bathroom.
Orchids prefer humidity to be between 50 70 so this makes the bathroom a place where hopefully lots of people are taking hot showers and baths an ideal spot.
A vase with orchid blooms cascading down in all directions add chic and elegance to bathroom decorating or home staging in minimal simple and sophisticated style while bringing tender color and pleasant forms into bathroom interiors.
Others need bright light.
Your bathroom is still your best bet for humidity.
Orchids can bloom for weeks and since they are smallish plants you can cluster several together for quite a show.
This means giving it water but also letting the soil drain and dry between watering.
Some species are planted in soil while others are epiphytes air plants that absorb moisture from the air.
So if it s dry in your house group your orchid pots on top of a tray filled with pebbles.
But humidity comes from the air as well.
That s why they re a perfect choice for your bathroom.
Some orchids prefer moderate light others need bright light.
Put that sucker in your bathroom and take a hot steamy shower.
Many houseplants don t survive the winter they simply don t like the dry interior air.
They love the dampness.
They grow to perfection in a bathroom with a heated floor.
Orchids do best in environments with reasonable humidity.
This way they can bloom for weeks.
Many orchids are ideal for bathrooms that do not get too cold.
In my bathroom which luckily for me does have a heated floor i grow stunning tropical orchids mostly the moth orchid aka phalanopsis.
Keep the water level low enough that the potting mix doesn t get wet.
Because orchids are epiphytes they thrive in humidity.
