I have a tall, narrow window in my shower, and while the view is mostly fields, I'd rather not expose myself to the horses outside. I'm looking for a tall indoor plant (around 1 meter) that can thrive in a north-facing, clear glass window where it will frequently get drenched with hot shower water. Does anyone know if such a plant exists?

Ferns can definitely work well in a humid environment! Boston ferns, in particular, thrive on moisture. You might also explore orchids, Philodendrons, or even Alocasia varieties as they love damp conditions too. Just keep in mind the overall humidity and airflow in your bathroom to ensure they don't rot or dry out. A humidity monitor could be useful! But honestly, I just move my plants around until they seem happy, haha!
You could consider using Spanish Moss (Tillandsia). I’ve had some hanging from a suction hook in my shower for over a year, and it’s thriving! You might also want to look into ferns like Boston, maidenhair, or staghorn ones since they love humidity. Just make sure to check if the bathroom stays humid enough because some plants might struggle if it gets too dry or cold between showers. Or maybe even go for a gravel tray to boost the humidity.
I think I’ll try the Spanish Moss suggestion! Thanks for the tip!
Thanks a lot! I’ve got another bathroom that’s more stable, so I’ll experiment with your suggestions there too.
