What to do if the bathroom is too wet？

These on-trend houseplants with red, waxy, heart-shaped leaves will do well in a bathroom if they have enough light. Look out for yellow tips on the leaves – this means it is too wet for them.

What is condensation and why does it form? Condensation is the process in which water vapour turns to liquid. This is typically caused by warm, humid air coming into contact with a cold surface, creating small droplets of water on the surface. In the bathroom, the air holds a lot of moisture when someone uses the shower or bath, while the room also contains a lot of cold surfaces such as tiles and mirrors. Taken with the fact that warm air holds more moisture than cold, this combination means that condensation is always going to be an issue in the bathroom.
