Don't even bother trying live plants. They rarely do well in a
bathroom
because of the lack of light.


Eh?
I have a problem with that type of thinking.

It's a bit like saying "don't paint it because you'll only have
to do it again in a couple of years".
Spend a few bucks on a nice fern (maybe Asparagus sprengerii?).
It will certainly live for
6-12 months and may do surprisingly well. If not, chuck it out
and get a new one.

Think of the plant as a disposable decoration - if it costs $5
for six months and then you have
to spend another $5, it's cheaper than wallpaper - or artificial
light as someone else suggested.

Why do folks spend a couple of bucks on a plant and then expect
it to last longer than wallpaper?

Buy it, enjoy it, replace it - it's the cheapest decoration
you'll find.
