The Snake Plant is a low-light champion and one of the most robust indoor plants. It can tolerate nearly any lighting condition, making it perfect for bathrooms with minimal sunlight. Snake plants are known for their air-purifying qualities, and their upright, sword-shaped leaves add a touch of elegance to your bathroom decor.

2. ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)

The ZZ Plant is a resilient and stylish choice for low-light bathrooms. It boasts glossy, dark green leaves that can brighten up any space. ZZ plants are low-maintenance and can survive with infrequent watering. They’re perfect for those looking to add a touch of greenery without much fuss.

3. Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)

Peace Lilies are known for their air-purifying abilities and beautiful white blooms. While they prefer moderate light, they can thrive in low-light conditions as well. They appreciate consistently moist soil, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms where humidity levels are higher.

4. Cast Iron Plant (Aspidistra elatior)

True to its name, the Cast Iron Plant is incredibly tough and can endure low-light conditions. Its dark green, leathery leaves provide a classic, timeless look. This plant can withstand neglect and will thrive even when forgotten for weeks.
