The bathroom is the most humid place in the house, and sometimes excessive water accumulation can lead to unpleasant smells. Even with regular cleaning, it often feels like the air needs refreshing. Here are some plants suitable for the bathroom that are not only easy to care for but also help eliminate odors and enhance the space's aesthetic.

Snake Plant (Sansevieria)
Snake plants are easily found in the floral market. They have wide leaves with tiger-like patterns, which is why they are named "tiger skin." These plants are excellent at absorbing ammonia and methane from the air, especially the unpleasant odors commonly found in bathrooms.

Care Tips: Snake plants prefer indirect light, a warm environment, and are not afraid of humidity. The watering rule is to water when the soil is dry (about every 20-30 days), with watering once every half month in summer and once every month in winter.

Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata)
The Boston fern is an evergreen plant with delicate, feather-like leaves, resembling the feathers of a bird, giving the plant an elegant aura. From a traditional medicine perspective, it is considered a cooling plant with the ability to remove excess moisture, making it an ideal choice for the bathroom.

Care Tips: Boston ferns are tolerant of shade and drought, and they thrive in humid environments, making them perfect for bathrooms with little light and high humidity. To maintain moisture, keep the soil consistently damp. If the humidity is too low in autumn, spraying water around the leaves can help increase moisture.

Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)
The Peace Lily, also known as "One Boat Sailing," has flowers that resemble a "palm" shape, hence its name. It symbolizes family harmony and happiness. When it blooms, it produces white flowers, giving the plant a serene beauty. Additionally, its leaves help absorb formaldehyde and ammonia in the air.

Care Tips: Peace Lilies are perfect for beginners. Just water them thoroughly when the soil is dry. They can be grown in soil or water. They thrive in shady, damp environments. For consistent green leaves, you can add some indoor plant nutrients during the growing season. When growing in water, make sure the roots are not submerged for too long, leaving about one-third of the roots exposed to air. Change the water once a month.
