They are adorable! Mine are constantly sitting in distilled H2O. They love to be bogged. And I fed my little vft an earwig and she loved it! So fun and beneficial. They love light also. Good luck!!

It looks like that might not be enough light for the sarr, but those pots are all very cute!

As someone else said, trumpet pitchers (Sarracenia) struggle inside as they usually require lots of direct sunlight. I would recommend either finding a location outside, or consider a grow light if you really want it inside. Good luck!
