Prefers moist soil. We recommend bottom watering with filtered or distilled water. To bottom water, place the bottom of the pot in a bowl or tray of water. Let the plant absorb for approximately 30 minutes, then give the pot a good shake to remove excess water. 

This plant does not need fertilizer. Pitcher Plants collect their nutrients from the decomposing insects in its pitcher. If your plant isn’t catching any bugs, we recommend purchasing bugs at your local pet store and feeding your plant about once every three weeks.
