I'm looking for suggestions on plants that can survive in my bathroom, which doesn't have any windows or electric sockets for artificial lighting. Are there any options that could work in such a dark, moisture-rich environment?

Back in the Victorian days, they would grow aspidistras in dark areas. These plants are known for their ability to withstand low light, so they might just be what you need to bring some green into that space!

You might want to consider growing mushrooms! They thrive in dark and damp conditions, making your bathroom a perfect little hideaway for them. Just ensure they get the right care, and you'll have a fun project on your hands!

Unfortunately, most plants need light to thrive, so your best bet might be to go for some high-quality fake plants. IKEA has some nice options if you want to fake it! Alternatively, if you're open to it, consider seeing if you can run an electric line for a small grow light – or look into rechargeable grow lights. If you're willing to make some changes, swapping out the overhead light with a grow bulb could also work wonders!

SunnyDaze99: That’s a solid plan! Just make sure whatever you do with electricity is safe. You don’t want any wet conditions causing problems.

GreenThumb007: Yeah, I agree! A grow bulb could really brighten up that space, literally.
