Hi,
   I've grown tired of looking at barf green bathroom walls.
   I looked through those wonderful 'spruce up your house for $9
   E99+ ' books, and rather than junk the bathroom and turn it into
   some sort of deco art studio where the toilet is designed to look
   like a pacman or something, I decided to just green the bathroom
   up a bit with plants...really.  I'm serious.
   PROBLEM: both my wife and I have incredible black thumbs...
   plants just recoil in horror instinctively when we go to a
   greenhouse, so what I need is ideas on plants that can put up
   with the following conditions:
   1) lots of humidity from the shower
   2) lack of sunlight-the bath only has one small window-away from
   sunlight
   3) neglect from owners...we tend to forget to water on a regular
   basis, and are clueless on plant food, 'grow stakes', etc.

   *ANY* help would be greatly appreciated except help which is no
   help at all like: Well with your ability, you should settle for
   putting pet rocks in there, or cactus...

   thanks in advance,
