The other comment about a rotation would probably work, but if you want to keep it in the bathroom, get a little grow light for the plant.

I have no idea, but maybe look into moss, lichen or some species of fungus?
I have three spider plants that used to take turns spending a month in the windowless bathroom. They're all fine. There was at least some sunlight coming in from the surrounding rooms though.
Artificial lol.
My upstairs bathroom is windowless (technically it does have a window, but previous owner covered it up), and I tried several low-light styles, and none of them did well even leaving the light on all the time.
Yea no light means no plants, tho you could always keep a plant in there for a week or less and rotate it for annother every few days...
You might have been joking, but this is the best answer. All plants need a decent amount of light, so they either need a grow light or rotating out. Or just get a plastic one instead and save the poor thing a life of misery.
Observational humor. lol. Was definitely serious, though. I have a similar windowless bathroom that has proven to be quite inhospitable to every low-light plant I've tried to put there.
I replied before your edit, so now I look like I can't read!
I had some artificial plants that were so convincing that it was a struggle to get people to stop watering them.
