	Houseplant Hydroculture
		Some of the advantages of houseplants grown in hydroculture are the water reservoir makes it easy to see when the plant requires water, the aggregate is open therefore allowing air to circulate around the roots, and the reservoir coupled with using absorbent aggregate helps create humidity around the plant.
		The easiest method I have found for converting a houseplant to hydroculture is to use one that has been water rooted because the root system seems to be slightly different to one that has been grown in soil.
		Houseplants need converting prior to being used in hydroculture, refer to the converting plants section on this page.
