New Nepenthes Owner Guide: Deformed Pitchers, No Fluid, Feeding

First Steps for a New Plant

Keep in partial sun, water every few days with mineral-free water (no standing water). Maintain stable temps/humidity. Identify species via tag or vendor. Don't feed yet—plant catches insects when ready. Damaged pitchers die off; new ones form with bright light. When new pitchers have fluid, drop an ant/fly every few weeks if not catching. Fertilize only at ¼ strength orchid foliar feed monthly.
