Chenille Plant
The Chenille Plant (Acalypha pendula) is best displayed as a hanging plant. Its gorgeous “caterpillar” flowers cascade down creating a stunning trailing effect. The fuzzy texture adds an interesting touch. It is so unique that anyone who sees your bathroom is sure to comment on it. They won’t want to stop feeling its fuzziness. However, these enticing beauties are slightly toxic — so keep children and pets away from them. Also, they are allergy-free for those with asthma and allergies, so hang them in your shower and breathe in deep.

Red Velvet Plant
Although the Red Velvet Plant (Echeveria pulvinata) is a succulent and not the best in humidity, we couldnt resist its fuzzy texture. Because it does better in drier conditions, we recommend this fella be put in the half-bath or guest bathrooms in your home. Back to its velvety texture — the leaves of the pulvinata have a thick coat of white hairs that are meant to protect them from direct harsh sunlight. The red velvet name comes from the red edges the leaves get when exposed to any sort of stress like extreme temperatures or very strong sunlight. Try this textured plant out in your dry bathroom!
