| 2009-11-03 | patti reaume | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you Tracy. Oh my gosh, I thought it was spider mytes. I will try what you suggest. I did notice that the other plants in the house were not affected as they are several feet away. What a great service this is. I will recommend it to my friends and co workers. Patti |
| 2009-08-12 | Ms. T | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Tracy is awesome. I found her responses very clear, especially the one about how to plant the "babies" of a spider plant. I had never before received a clear answer on that from anyone. Thanks, Tracy!! Blessings, Ms. T. |

| 2008-02-02 | Monica | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Hi Tracy, Thank you very much for your speedy and detailed response. I went out and bought a spray (contact & systemic) immediately and gave it a really good drenching, getting in all the crevices. I left it overnight and it looks much much better today - all the fluffy material is gone. I'll continue with treatment each week until I win! Although the ficus didn't have any visible bugs, I've treated it too. Again, thank you very much...you just saved my favourite plants! Regards, Monica |

Expertise
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 experience with most propagation techniques. My specialty is Aglaonema, Ivy and the Marantaceae family, which includes prayer plants, calathea, stromanthe and ctenanthe. I am also knowledgeable and experienced with artificial lighting for plants. I can not answer questions about succulents or cacti and I have had very little experience with flowering plants. 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.
Experience
For the past 15 years I have always had at least 70 houseplants in my house at all times. I also have spent a great deal of time helping friends, family and neighbors with their houseplants.
Education/Credentials
I have done extensive research on the care of houseplants, the different kinds of houseplants, pests and diseases common to houseplants and artificial lighting for houseplants. I also have done some volunteer work assisting a master gardener for 5 years.
