Re: [Killietalk] Anyone growing houseplants in the fishroom?

["Nick Ternes" <woodland_gardens at gmail.com>]

We just threw one out this fall that was in the greenhouse for at
least 10 years.  Unfortunately I wasn't working that day. :p  We do
stock them regularly though, so if I really want one it's not a big
deal for me.  Currently the only non-aquarium plant in my fishroom is
a heavenly bamboo.  Oddly enough, I don't really have any cool
houseplants.  All the really cool houseplants are too hard to find or
too expensive.  And I kill orchids, so they're out of the question.
Of course I do work in a greenhouse, so what do I need cool
houseplants at home for?
