Bathroom & Humidity-Loving Plants

Yes, a handful of our carnivorous plants actually prefer a humid bathroom windowsill over a dry desk. Sundews and butterworts are native to boggy, humid habitats — here's our humidity-loving lineup.

Do these need a humidifier?

Not necessarily — a naturally steamy bathroom with a bright window is often enough. A humidity tray or occasional misting helps in drier climates.

Will they be okay without direct sun?

Bright, indirect light is best. A bathroom with a frosted or sheer-curtained window usually works well.
