It has very little natural light, unless I leave the bathroom door open - are there any plants which cope well in these conditions?

The best plant for your bathroom is a bamboo stick, they sort of curl round at the top, I love plants but they always die, the only one that I have left is my bamboo which funny enough is in my bathroom, the best thing about it is that I think that it might also have died about 2 years ago but it still looks good and it is green still!

Some plants that have thick leaves or the ones from the family of crassulaceae.
Their thick leaves shows that they have reserves for their food. They do need to photosynthesize but usually very minimal, but when they photosynthesize, they store large amount of glucose in their leaves. Thus, they were able to adapt to shady or almost dark places.

Search in google plants that belong to this family.

Yes, aloe plants are a good plant to live like that because they don't require a lot of light.

Ferns generally like low light and damp conditions.

Just remember that low-light plants are not no-light plants.

I'd go with moss and mushrooms.

Spider plants - they like the humidity too!

Also aspidestra - virtually indestructible!

i think most people have the best luck with philodendron vines... you can also root cuttings in water to make new plants, once it starts growing.

take care.
