9. Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendrum Hederaceum)
Native to the Caribbean and Central America, this fast-growing plant is easy to care for and doesn’t need too much light. In fact, you may want to keep yours away from direct light exposure.
However, depending on how much light it gets, the heartleaf philodendron’s watering needs may change. The good news is that it’s quite forgiving if you neglect it once in a while. The interesting thing about this indoor plant is that its stems grow much faster than its roots, which means you won’t need to repot it yearly.
The heartleaf philodendron’s leaves love the shower steam, but you should wipe them down with a damp cloth at least once a month to keep dust from building up.
10. Radiator Plants (Peperomia)
Radiator plants are not-so-distant relatives of the ones that produce black pepper. They are heat-loving plants native to subtropical and tropical regions and don’t require special attention. Since peperomias love humid conditions, they make excellent bathroom plants, absorbing steam from the shower. Their leaves and stems hold water, so they should be fine if you forget about the occasional watering.
While these plants are vigorous growers on their own, they would definitely benefit from an occasional dose of fertilizer. Keep in mind that radiator plants tend to dry out faster during the growing season compared with the winter months. Some peperomia varieties make great hanging basket plants.
