hi! definately water with distilled or rainwater, and you can feed one trap once a month if indoors. if its outside, it will catch all it needs.  
i have mine sitting in water in a second pot, but you can also just water frequently and keep the substrate wet. Plants With Krystal on youtube has some good short videos on keeping carnivorus plants aswell. hope this helps, good luck!!
