Houseplants are not only great for adding a touch of earthy style to any room - they can also make your home more safe in the winter. As the colder months creep in, it's prime time for damp, mould and condensation to appear, due to a lack of ventilation.
But there are certain types of plants that can combat humidity in the air, making it a safer environment for you and your family. The key is making sure you know which plants will do best in certain areas. Ideally, you want ones that don't need much looking after, but you do need to understand how much light, water and soil they need.
This is particularly true when looking for bathroom plants, writes the Express. Not all of the following plants thrive best in the bathroom, but it's the room that does see the most excess moisture and humidity.
Experts at Gardening Express explained: "Mould in the home is caused by excess humidity. Warm rooms, like bathrooms, are at particular risk. Using plants to help keep mould at bay is a practical and natural way to control humidity and moisture in your home.
"How good a plant is at reducing humidity is all to do with its ability to absorb dew, fog and other moisture through its leaves. This moisture then moves down to its roots. The beauty of this natural solution is that you will notice an improvement while having beautiful plants to enjoy too."
The English ivy can remove airborne mould from humid rooms, and is great for smaller bathrooms. The experts said it "grows best in bright, indirect light and needs regular watering."
But remember to keep it away from pets, as the leaves are toxic to them. For this reason, English Ivy is great in a hanging pot or placed on top of a cabinet.
