Details
These carnivores need a lot of moisture. Be rigerous about its watering schedule, as it doesnt handle missed waterings very well. Water when the top inch of the soil is dry.
For indoor potted pitcher plants, fill a container with a low-fertility mixture of peat moss mixed with either lime-free horticultural sand or perlite in a two to one ratio. This plant does not benefit from fertilizers as it gets its nutrients from the insects its catches. Repot when roots come out the drainage holes or the plant is growing against the edges of the pot.
If there isn't a lot of insects for your pitcher plant to catch, Indoors, you can feed your plant dried crickets or fish food.
