Hi! I’m new and fairly new to my plant obsession 🥰. Anyway, I received these two monkey cups (nepenthes) in the mail a few days ago. Can someone tell me the best way to get them healthy? I’ve misted and watered according to Planta so far. Any other good tips would be appreciated. Thank you so much in advance! 😄

Also, they are in a south facing window with optional grow light. And I only use distilled water.👍

Keep the soil moist and don’t let them dry out. They need a lot of sun! I feed mine with blood worms every week. They are beautiful plants 😊

Thank you!! I have some dried meal worms in my cart. Are blood worms better or same?

Yeah I would think so. Some people use fish food flakes
