I have a great deal of experience with most tropical foliage houseplants. I am knowledgeable and experienced in the care and needs of many different kinds of houseplants as well as the pests and diseases common to houseplants. I have had a lot of experience with most propagation techniques. My specialty is Aglaonema, Ivy and the Marantaceae family (which includes prayer plants, calathea, stromanthe and ctenanthe). However I can answer questions about all houseplants. I am knowledgeable and experienced with artificial lighting for plants. I can answer questions about all aspects of 'indoor gardening'. Not only questions about growing foliage plants and starting seeds under artificial plant lighting but also questions about artificial plant light system set up, supplemental artificial lighting and cost. ~ I can help identify plants ONLY if you send a picture of the plant with your question. Please feel free to visit my Myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/experthouseplants for information and tips on plant care. |
