Venus Flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are my primary interest and area of expertise, and I am happy to answer questions about how to grow healthy and robust Venus Flytraps and control common pests. I can also answer some questions about other carnivorous plants such as Sarracenia, Drosera, Darlingtonia and Cephalotus, or questions about carnivorous plants in general. | |

I am capable of answering questions about the most common carnivorous plants found in cultivation. I have no personal experience with Byblis, Drosophyllum, Aldrovanda, and Heliamphora. I have not cultivated gemmae forming pygmy sundews nor tuberous sundews. For information regarding those aforementioned species, I would suggest contacting other experts. I can answer questions regarding most species of Nepenthes, tropical and temperate Drosera, Mexican Pinguicula, Sarracenias, and Dionaea. I have some limited experience with growing Utricularia, Cephalotus, and Darlingtonia. | |
