Our grower says:
"In our greenhouses they are more effective at attracting flying insects, principally fungus gnats, than yellow sticky cards. This is one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow. It likes strong indirect light, or at least cool direct light, and damp conditions. Little else seems necessary.
It grew well for us in cool, unheated (but frost free) greenhouses over winter and the only problem I have had with the one I took home was when I partially burned it up by putting it on a window sill in full, direct, all-day winter sun.
Flowers are produced on tall, thin stalks seemingly at any time of year. Give it copious watering, it can probably even stand in a shallow dish of water. It shouldn't need almost any feeding, and if you do fertilize use something weak and organic like fish emulsion. It won't ever develop much of a root system."
