Gobble Guts Care

Plants should not be fed with any plant food and should be kept moist to wet at all times; they can be sat in a saucer of water in warmer weather to prevent drying out. Potting mix should be peat moss or sphagnum moss and coarse sand.

First, if your pitcher plant blooms, you should prune off the blossoms of a pitcher plant when they wilt, just as you deadhead other plants. This type of pitcher plant pruning is easy. You simply use a pair of garden scissors to cut off the stalk of the bloom at its base.

Fertilizer can be very damaging to these plants.

If possible, refer to the tag that came with your pitcher plant, as sunlight requirements vary depending on the species.

Indoor pitcher plant care generally requires warm temperatures between 65 and 80 F. (18-27 C.)
