I just got a Nepenthes. Do you feed your flytraps, fertilize, both? It looks like it's thriving
I have a pitcher plant and I don't do anything to it but water it every other day (when it's warm). However, my house has an ant problem in the warmer months and my pitchers are constantly filled with ants. I haven't had to feed any of my carnivorous plants manually.
Nice! I just water it with distilled water. It catches its own little bugs.
