Use distilled or reverse osmosis water, and they love direct bright light

I’ve heard it’s very difficult to grow them indoors

I’m going to be keeping it outside unless it drops under freezing

i can't tell if it's in soil but if so i would recommend removing it and replacing it in a peat moss/perlite mixture. since it only needs its nutrients from the bugs it consumes the soil will cause it to slowly wither. also rain water works just good for them too!
