Most moisture-loving plants need regular misting and care, but what if you could display them in a ready-made humid space in which they could thrive? Use humidity to your advantage and be adventurous in your designs: dare to turn a kitchen into a jungle, or take over the bathroom with ambitious living walls and displays, where the steam will naturally mist humidity-lovers like ferns, bromeliads, and air plants.

• 1 Contrast the bright foliage of a bathroom bromeliad display with the addition of a humidity-loving Amazonian elephant’s ear.
• 2 Assemble a kokedama string garden (see pp76–79) in humid areas of your home (L–R: Boston fern, spider plant, Cretan brake fern).
• 3 A trailing string of hearts plant adds a touch of atmosphere to a bathroom counter.
• 4 Use a humid spot to keep feathery foliage lush and fresh (L–R: mind-your-own-business, delta maidenhair fern, and string of pearls).
• 5 Since air plants draw moisture from the air, display them in a humid room in a wire frame or on a stand (see pp56–59).
• 6 Carnivorous plants love moist, boggy environments, so will thrive in a humid space.
