Exposure: Place them in an area that receives non-direct sunlight, hung under a plant or with a shade. If you grow them indoors or in a terrarium, use grow lamps and ceiling lights to provide adequate light intensity to keep your plant healthy and with vivid colors.
Soil: Use well-draining soil; A common mix includes peat moss, sphagnum moss, perlite and sand. Avoid using regular potting soil, as it retains too much moisture!
Watering: Water with distilled or rain water, carnivorous plants are very sensitive to chlorinated tap water rich in minerals. Use distilled water, rain water or reverse osmosis water. If you use tap water, let it sit for 24 to 48 hours to allow the chlorine and other chemicals to dissipate and settle. Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy and avoid leaving the plant in water, it can cause root rot.
Pruning: Remove dead or dying buds regularly to keep plants healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Trim away any decaying leaves or debris to keep the plant clean.
