Light
Pitcher (Nepenthes) plants need intense light to thrive. The ideal setting for them is direct sunlight outside, where they can get at least six hours of direct light. They can be cultivated indoors under a grow light or on a sunny windowsill.
Water and Soil
These plants are heavy moisture users. Pitcher plants do not tolerate drought conditions, therefore water your plant when the soil volume is 25% dry.
Trimming
The good news is that pitcher plants usually don’t need to be pruned unless the lack of humidity or moisture is causing the leaves or pitchers to turn brown. It is preferable to remove them from the plant if more than half of the leaves are brown.
Fertilizer
Pitcher plants don’t need fertilizer because the majority of their nutrition comes from the insects they catch. This kind of plant is not used to living in the soil that is high in nutrients, therefore occasionally the fertilizer could even be detrimental to it.
