I love indoor plants and have a small outdoor garden. I live in Manitoba (Zone 3).

This was from a trade I made with a Facebook fellow gardener. I waited two months for the pitchers to form on the new leaves. 18 June 2020

Great trade. I’ve had one of these for years. Always fascinating to look at. 🤩

Do you have the same kind? I've been watering it with rain water and would like to put it outside. Do you feed it any bugs? @philstalder

Yes Same one. I keep it hanging in my shower. I have a water filter on the shower head and I fill the cups. Haven’t checked for bugs but I don’t have any in the house so it must be working. Lol. I’m thinking of putting it outside because the bugs are terrible this year here. Good luck with yours. 😊

Oh and no I haven’t fed it any bugs. I should try. 🙂

Thanks for the tips! Good to know it will be okay without bugs. The new pitchers are not opening their tops yet, but I saw something similar to fruit flies inside the older pitchers. @philstalder
