Hi I was wondering if I could keep any kind of plant in my bathroom. There is no window so no direct light though its warm. I guess its the best place for growing mushrooms.  As far as I know all plants need some light.

    But as Pansyface says, @Dirty Harry, plants need light and this bathroom has no window...
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    I usually have cut flowers in my bathroom. Daffs are currently lighting it up.

    You could try growing several 'low light requirement' houseplants around other areas of the house and rotating them into the bathroom for a week or two each.  Other than that, it'd have to be artificial ones or something cut, as Fire says.  I have a forest of ivy in the back garden and cut stems for Christmas decorations which last for several weeks.  Holly would also work but maybe not ideal in a bathroom!  :D
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    You could always rig up a grow light. Get a grow bulb and use it in a bathroom rated fitting for safety.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
