The warmth and moisture create ideal conditions for mould to appear in the bathroom. Fortunately, there are ways to combat it effectively. It's enough to choose the right houseplants.

What should you put in the bathroom? The kobieta.gazeta.pl service suggests that ferns are an excellent choice. Their small leaves perfectly absorb toxins, including moulds.

Ferns thrive indoors, so they will work well in rooms without windows.

It's also worth considering ivy. As a potent air purifier, it can capture up to 80 percent of fungi floating in it. Ivy thrives when it has access to light. So, if you have a window, place it on the windowsill. The peace lily is also noteworthy for fighting mould.
