☀️ Light Requirements
Bright indirect light is ideal.

Good airflow around the roots is VERY important.
🍽️ Feeding
Pitchers will naturally catch insects 🪰
Optional feeding:
- Small insects
- Crushed fish flakes very sparingly
- Osmocote pellets ONLY with experience and caution
Do not overfeed.
⚠️ Common Problems
No pitchers?
Usually caused by:
- Low humidity
- Insufficient light

Black leaves?
Usually overwatering with poor airflow or mineral buildup.
Slow growth?
Often caused by low light or cold temperatures.
