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.
