He goes on to say that peace lilies use their leaves to soak up moisture from the air and don't need direct sunlight to thrive, making them the ideal option for small bathrooms.

Palms

Similarly to Peace Lilies, Chris points out that Palms also have leaves which are designed to absorb moisture.

For this reason, he notes that they're the perfect addition to help keep humidity at bay.

As for which ones to choose from, there's plenty of choice - including Areca palms, bamboo palms, lady palms, dwarf date palms and reed palms.

Snake plants

According to Chris, snake plants are renowned for being tough and can easily adapt to any environment.

They also flourish in sunlight and warmer temperatures, making them perfect to sit in front of a window.

English Ivy

Chris goes on to explain that air plants are a great option to help prevent mould.

He specifically recommends Tillandsia - noting that it doesn't need to be potted in soil.

Instead, he says their aerial roots soak up the humidity from steamy air - making them the go-to plant to place next to your shower.
