💚 Care Instructions

• Soil / Medium: Requires a special airy, fast-draining medium. Common mixes include sphagnum moss, perlite, coco chips, or orchid bark. Regular potting soil is unsuitable.
• Temperature: Prefers warm conditions (20–30°C for most common varieties). Protect from cold temperatures and sudden fluctuations.
• Humidity: High humidity is crucial for healthy pitcher development. Dry air often causes pitchers to dry up or fail to form.
• Fertilizer / Feeding: Usually not necessary. The plant catches insects naturally. Avoid overfeeding or using strong fertilizers.
• Pruning & Maintenance: Remove dried pitchers and dead leaves to keep the plant tidy. Healthy plants continuously produce new pitchers.

☀️ Light & Water Needs

• Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. Gentle morning sun is safe, but avoid harsh midday sunlight which can damage leaves and pitchers. Insufficient light reduces pitcher formation.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Use only rainwater, RO, or distilled water, as tap water minerals can harm the plant.
