Where should I place my plants?
Some plants will increase in size rather quickly, while others are more compact and slow-growing. Have a look at the surfaces available to you – windowsills, shelves, the tops of cabinets, the edge of the bath and beside the sink – then choose your plants accordingly.
Trailing plants like Devil’s Ivy are a good choice to flow down from shelves and cabinets. Aloe vera and snake plants grow upwards rather than outwards, which makes them perfect for bathrooms with minimal surface space. If you can hang some planters from the ceiling then a spider plant’s fronds look fantastic at eye level too. A word to the wise: even though it’s tempting, avoid thinking of the toilet cistern as a potential plant shelf.
