Reader Eliane Cristina Dezoneth wants to know if she can put flower arrangements in the bathroom and toilet. The experts answer
Bathroom plants are on the rise. The Urban Jungle style works for any room, so there’s nothing better than including some foliage on the countertop, right? But what if you want to add a pop of color and have a flower in the bathroom? Can it?

Yes, but it must be remembered that poor ventilation and the low incidence of natural light, common in environments like these, reduce the life of the flowers.

“To make them last longer, cut the tips of the stems diagonally, wash the vase every two days and put a drop of chlorine and a pinch of sugar in the water. Chlorine is bactericidal, and sugar is nourishing”, teaches the florist Carol Ikeda, from Pitanga Atelierin Sao Paulo.

It is also necessary to choose species that adapt well to humidity, such as orchids, lilies and anthuriums. “Full of perfume, eucalyptus and angelica they are also good requests,” he points out florist Marina Gurgel.

An alternative is to bet on different and more durable agreements, using dry bamboo or leaves – in the latter case, however, direct contact with water must be avoided.
