I'd like an indoor hanging plant to go up high in our bathroom (to replace a
plastic "plant"). It won't get a lot of light, but has to be able to
withstand occasionally cold and humid conditions. Ideally it will stand up
a little, will hang about 1m maximum, and fit in a pot about 25cm diameter.

Any ideas?!

Boston Fern.
Aspadistra (cast iron plant).
Possibly cheese plant (Monstera delisciosa)
Anything from the ground floor in the Tasmanian Rainforests

Any other suggestions

Pothos. Will withstand anything - the only potplant I can't kill!

A pretty coleus (choose one in the colour combination of your choice)
will withstand anything and makes a vibrant colour statement (I don't
believe I said that...!) I've found they do very nicely in bathrooms.

If you have a western-facing window, you might find that African Violets
(Saintpaulia sp.) will do well (not too close to the window, though).
They like a bit of humidity, but their light requirements are so
particular that you'd probably need to experiment.

My favourite, though, is Streptocarpus. It's a close relative of the Af.
Violets, but is not so fussy in its habits. It makes a lovely hanging
basket specimen, has pretty spring-green fuzzy leaves and a very pretty
blue/purple flower. An advanced specimen will cascade just enough out of
its basket without being a pain to keep tidy.

Hello The markets in Sydney have hanging baskets of Tahitian Bridal Veil .
It has lots of dotty white flowers and dark green leaves with purpleish
undersides. Looks good, trish in Sydney :)
