Potted plants that can barely be grown in the bathroom:
1. Phalaenopsis
Except for placing the Phalaenopsis in the bathroom after the flowers are fully open, moving it to another place for maintenance during other growth periods will basically not cause any problems. For example, in winter and spring, most of the flower buds of the purchased potted Phalaenopsis have opened, and it can be placed in a bright place or slightly shaded place (bathroom) without any issues.
In the daily maintenance of potted Phalaenopsis, especially after the flowering period, do not keep it in the bathroom (except for good conditions), trim the flower stems in time, move it to a place with good ventilation and light, and provide more than 3 hours of scattered light every day, maintaining a warm and cool environment.
If the temperature is between 15~25 degrees, and the Phalaenopsis is growing rapidly, you can apply thin fertilizer frequently, provide more scattered light, keep the sphagnum moss slightly moist, avoid waterlogging, and do not let the substrate get too dry. Supplement a thin fertilizer every 3~4 weeks, using a general-purpose fertilizer or special fertilizer for orchids. By doing these points, it is basically possible to bloom during the winter and spring seasons every year.
2. Potted ferns
Many ornamental ferns can be grown in the bathroom, including common wire fern, Boston fern, bird's nest fern, silver wire fern, and blue star nandina, etc. Their maintenance methods have some differences, and except for wire ferns which are a bit difficult to manage, the others are relatively easy to care for.
If the bathroom has bright light or a little scattered light, you can place a few pots, placing them in the best lit position, using smaller pots and not too deep ones, keeping the environment moist, and not letting water remain on the leaves for a long time.
In the process of maintaining potted ferns, attention should also be paid to reasonable watering, letting the soil dry out before watering, and waiting for the soil to be completely dry about 3~5 centimeters below the surface before adding water. Do not fertilize frequently in the bathroom, but you can sprinkle a slow-release fertilizer in the potting soil once a year.
3. Snake plant
Snake plant is an easy-to-grow succulent plant with many varieties, including long leaf, short leaf,棒 leaf varieties, and even fan-shaped snake plants.
It is completely fine to grow snake plants in the bathroom. When growing them in shaded areas, pay attention to controlling watering, keeping the potting soil slightly dry, and only consider watering when the soil is dry for a few days. Do not let the leaves often get wet, especially when the weather gets cold and the temperature drops below 10 degrees, temporarily stop watering.
