Pitcher Plant Care Tips

Grow pitcher plants in a mix of sphagnum moss and perlite to ensure proper drainage and moisture retention. Use distilled water or rainwater for watering pitcher plants to prevent mineral build-up in the soil. Place pitcher plants in bright, indirect sunlight to encourage healthy growth and colorful pitchers. Avoid feeding pitcher plants with fertilizers as they obtain nutrients from insects they catch. Trim away any dead pitchers or leaves to maintain the plant’s overall health and appearance.
