I need tips

Tampa, FL(Zone 9b)

I bought a pitcher plant this past summer and it has grown so much. Does any one know if you can cut them back? Or does anyone know anything about them? Vik

I have grown several different varieties of pitcher plants with mixed success. Cutting them back is no problem. Cut as you would any other plant. Getting your cuttings to root is another story. I got only about 50% to survive the summer from cuttings taken in March. I also know there is a carniverous plant ring of websites. Here it is:
