I found this pitcher plant at Food City today. If anyone has any advice about how to care for it I’d appreciate it.

Lots of sun and water ☀️ , don’t fertilize it since it’ll make it’s own energy from the bugs it eats, and of course, enjoy watching your new little plant maybe grow!

Hi, I saw another post in this plant so I thought I’d paste what I just typed about it there if it helps 😊

Not claiming to be an expert on this plant but I have had one for a little over a month and it’s currently alive with new growth but finicky as heck!!!! I used miracle grow sphagnum peat moss and perlite close to 60/40, it’s outdoors facing east 4ish hours direct sun, 50%ish humidity, I only water it using water from a zero filter I think culligan bought you get from Walmart for like 20$. Following plantas recommended water schedule hardy zone 9.

Also your plant looks insanely amazing, where I have seen them in Texas, rare this full and healthy! Have fun!
