What is worth remembering?

Of course, the most important rule is to find out what growing conditions a particular plant prefers. Most often, if it requires a high level of humidity, it also doesn’t need strong light. It is then better to place such specimens in the shade deep inside the bathroom than to place them directly by the window with intense sun exposure

Keep potted plants away from chemicals and soap. The odors they give off can have a negative effect on their growth. This is also why you should frequently ventilate the bathroom. This will also help to reduce the humidity level in the room

In a humid environment plants evaporate more slowly, so it is worth carefully checking the dryness of the soil, so as not to cause constant overflowing of flowers. In such conditions the greenery will quickly rot.
