	Houseplant - Information from Reference.com
		A houseplant is usually a tropical or semi-tropical plant that is grown indoors in places such as residences and offices.
		Houseplants are generally grown in specialized soils called potting compost or potting soil, not in local natural soil.
		Most houseplants are tropical species selected for their adaptation to growth in a climate which ranges from 15°C to 25°C, similar to the temperature in most homes.

	Houseplants
		A houseplant is a plant that is grown indoors in places such as a house or office.
		Watering houseplants on a regular basis is necessary for the plant to remain healthy and thrive.
		Houseplants sometimes also need to be cleaned of dust and greasy films that collect on the leaves when they are indoors.

	How to feed and water your houseplant
		The majority of houseplants prefer to have a good soaking with tap water, then to be left alone until they almost dry out.
		Once you become used to the weight of the houseplant you can tell if it needs to be watered just by holding it and judging the weight.
		Houseplants to be careful with include air and carnivorous plants which need no feeding.

		Houseplants placed too close to a window will show signs of leaf scorch (brown tips, leaf curl and yellow to brown edges), so move affected plants to a north to north east exposure or where they will get less light and a chance to recuperate.
		Most houseplants are from tropical origins with humidity levels around 80%.

	DIY Houseplant Nitrate Filter for Aquariums-- The Glass is Too Big (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Since aquariums that have good "traditional" biological filtration end up with nitrate filled water that has to be changed and that water is good for houseplants, you use the houseplants to pull the nitrates out of the water directly as part of the system.
		In this case, houseplants are used instead of underwater plants due to the fact that they get their CO2 from the air in adequate quantities, so you don't need to supplement the water in any way to make the plants OK with it.
		The primary idea is that these houseplants get their CO2 from the air instead of the water, making maintaining the setup much easier than totally submerged plants.
