Vine Ceiling for Bathroom - Full Spectrum Lighting

Posted by zarathustra Texas (My Page) on

Hi, I am currently remodeling and am considering, upon further discussion with other interested parties, an open ceiling structure for our bathroom. My plan is to make the "ceiling" a trellis structure for vining plants. Ideally the plants will be in pots on the floor with a network of trellis along the walls allowing them to grow to the ceiling. For lighting I will install full spectrum lights on a seperate switch from the regular bathroom lighting. The floor and four walls will be tiled entirely so that the plants can be watered without any problems.

I would appreciate any suggestions for vining plants to accomplish this task. Ideally there would be several different colors, textures, and shapes to make it more interesting.

Thanks for the help.

I'd sure like to see a picture of that - sounds lovely. I think philodendrons would do well - solid green and the ones with the gold variegation.
