My dad got me this cute little pitcher plant as a nice gift, and I’d like to have some tips on how to care for it. This is a nepenthes x ventrata. I have a little experience with carnivorous plants (two Venus fly traps, both dead from bad conditions before adoption). Pls help, I REALLY do not want to mess this up!

Main thing is using RO, distilled or rain water only. I generally keep mine moist. Bright light for at least 8hrs. And if they don't have access to food, feed them every 1-2 weeks
