Finding Houseplants for your bathroom is easier th

Finding Houseplants for your bathroom is easier than you think!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
My houseplants are the family members I don't mind sharing my bathroom time with. 😉 LOLz. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I love having houseplants in our bathroom. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It adds so much character and a sense of “freshness” to a relatively plain space. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We have Aloe, Spider, and a ZZ in our bathroom.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Bathrooms have tricky environments — low light, high moisture, and warm temperatures — so finding a houseplant that can thrive in this room can be a difficult task.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Tropical plants are often the best for this environment because of their resiliency and love for moisture. But, there are plenty of non-tropical houseplants that would love to live your bathroom!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I’ve rounded up 5 houseplants that will flourish and pretty-up your bathroom because even this room deserves a little love and greenery!⁠ 🚽 ⠀
⁠⠀
1) Snake Plant⁠⠀
2) Dracaena⁠⠀
3) N-Joy Pothos⁠⠀
4) Tillandsias⁠⠀
5) Devil's Ivy⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You can read my entire blog post all about bathroom plants on the blog: www.housefur.com⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Do you have any houseplants in your bathroom to keep you company while you do your business? 💩⁠⠀

I photographed an engagement session at the Milwaukee Domes today... so, albeit I still feel & look like literal garbage, I had a pretty darn good day!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Bronchitis is no joke. ⁠😷 I am so thankful to be getting my health back & I can’t wait to be 💯!! ⠀
⁠⠀
I am going to bed early today - I have a photo shoot tomorrow morning and then Caleb and I are attending a wedding vendor showcase event at the @grainexchange - it’s our 4th year being invited and we are so happy!

These boys are the “goodest” boys. ⠀ They’

These boys are the “goodest” boys. ⠀
They’ve been so snuggly with me this week (like every week) ... but, when you’re stuck at home with bronchitis having good boys by your side is so comforting.⠀

Happy National Love Your Pet Day - which in my book, is every day!!

I’ve had great success with my Monsteras, but th

I’ve had great success with my Monsteras, but the most common problem I hear from friends is that their's have yellowing leaves. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
My friend @philiakelnhofer just dropped off her Monstera this weekend in hopes I could revive her! We call her Sensitive Sally, because she has yellow, crusty, and black leaves and is just overall not happy. I am recovering her and will update you on her health in a blog post in the near future. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Yellowing leaves are a symptom of overwatering. Make sure you are not accidentally killing it with kindness by giving your Monstera too much water. I just sink my fingers into the soil about two inches to decide if it needs water or not. As a precaution, you could also purchase a water meter to test the soil moisture level. ⠀⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Yellowing leaves could also mean too much direct sunlight and too little sunlight will not allow the leaves to develop their trademark slits & splits.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🌿Some other helpful tips . . . ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Monstera plants like well-draining soil that is composed of organic matter. I always use perlite. I do a soil to perlite mix of 80-20.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
These plants like to be fertilized once a month during the growing seasons (summer + spring).⁠⠀
⁠⠀
These plants prefer bright, yet indirect light. We have one in our living room near a south east facing window and one in our bedroom near a south facing window. Our Monstera's love being able to see the sky!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Choose a pot that has plenty of drainage holes and is large enough to accommodate the relatively quick growth of this plant. You may need to re-pot it every few years or so give it more room & ensure that the soil is not depleted of nutrients.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
They are a fairly fast growing plant – so you will need to monitor that it’s roots do not become too crowded before you are able to re-pot it. We bought our planters from @WestElm and filled the bottom layer with course gravel to help with drainage and protect the roots from rotting.⁠⠀

I thought it would be fun to start documenting and sharing our Toy & Treat Hauls. I’ll do a series of monthly blog posts where I’ll share all of the goodies we find and buy for our “goodest boys.” On the blog I’ll also include an honest review straight from Kenzo & Vík! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This week Caleb brought home; ⁠⠀
@happyhowies Woof Stix, @bluebuffalo Wilderness Trail Treats, @whimzeesus Daily Dental Treats.⁠⠀
⁠He also bought a leather bear toy for our Kenzo "Bear" and a leather & rope monkey toy for "Monkey" aka: Vík. (Both from @ethicalpetsupply)⁠⠀
