My pitcher plant is growing all wacky. I’ve been keeping it in a shadier spot because I thought it may have been getting burnt by too much sunlight. I read the wacky growing might be due to lack of sunlight. I’ve moved it back into direct sunlight. Tips for keeping this pitcher healthy?

Pitcher plants light bright, indirect light. If you can keep it on a porch where the sun doesn’t directly hit the plant but still gets bright sunlight you should have the best luck. Indoors they can be a bit finicky and you might need to experiment with plant lights of various strengths to determine what it likes best.
