Hello everyone. I need some suggestions. I want to put a hanging basket in my bathroom but the only spot available is over a corner of the bathtub near a window. Now if some one is having a shower it'll have to be enclosed behind the curtain. The light situation isn't all that great either but it's not too bad. So, basically I'm searching for a plant that likes high humidity and low light. Any ideas? idea

My pothos is SOOOOOO happy in my low-light bathroom...I have to hack off most of it every few months, or it will take over! grinnnn

My spider plant is doing okay in there, too...

Barley mentioned the pothos....I think that is a great idea but I want to add that the variegated pothos require more light than the solid green....so if light is really limited I would stick to the solid green!

If you have friends that have any pothos ask them for some cuttings...stick them in water and in a very short time you will have many roots...plant and your off....keep taking cuttings as it grows and stick in the pot and before you know it you will be giving beautiful plants to everybody you know wavey
