Question for the herbalists and floraphiles on my list

[razorjak]

Okay so the new apartment has a big-ass counter for lack of a better word at about diaphragm level to me. It gets decent light from the window so I was thinking of putting some plants in there to keep the air fairly fresh.

I'm sure it was originally meant for showerstuffs and all that. but it's deep enough to put some planters on it and still have room for me to put all my bathyfunstuffs.

Are there any plants that thrive in places with periods of high moisture and indirect sunlight that would make good apartment plants? ( the bathroom is standard apartment with accents of purple and green )

You might also look for some epiphytes, which normally thrive in moist environments. Ferns should be a fairly good bet too, I'd think.

Are there any ferns that are poisonous to furbearing couchvultures? I know from experience (barncats and having a hilled yard just rotten with fiddlerheads) that cats love ferns.

that you'd have to ask your garden center person or check a plant book. I'm just happy if I can keep a few plants alive. I've just adopted a third at home, but the two I had already get highly irregular care. =)
