About Joan Avila
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer almost everything about carnivorous plants and how to care for them. This includes sundews, Pitcher plants, Venus fly trap, and other carnivores. I can not answer questions on bladderworts or butterworts. I don't know much about them. Enjoy Your Plants!

Experience
I have raised carnivores and I learned how to take care of them. I've had great success growing these fascinating plants.

Education/Credentials
I learned about these plants by doing research for months. I checked out books and went online. I actually did this to take care of my carnivorous plants myself but all this researching I did made me a great talent at it.
