How to Care for the Plant
Water
Water - must be mineral/chemical free - rain water, distilled water, water purified by Reverse Osmosis (RO water), your tap water may be good, depending on your locality. Check with other CP growers in your area or get an analysis of the water.
Pruning
You can remove dead leaves by trimming them with scissors. But this is not mandatory unless there are any pests. Also, transplant the plant into the new containers (bigger size if plant has grown) or wash the old container with soap and use it again.
Fertilizer
Feed bugs, dried bloodworms, or fishfood every 2-3 weeks, only use fertilizer if you have plenty of experience growing carnivorous plants
