A cool looking plant you have there PC.....do you spray it with rain water as well?

It's currently outside and gets rained on anyways so no watering or spray required for now.
One of the pitchers is packed with dead Yellow Jackets so there should be enough nutrients for it to get out of them :).

When I saw the directions for keeping them it said the pitchers should be kept 1/2 full with rain water. I just looked at the link and it doesn't have much information....did yours come with care instructions?

It came with some basic care instructions. From what I've read the pitchers do only have to be filled 1/3rd to 1/2 with rainwater, destilled water or RO water if they've gotten emptied while transported/handled. New pitchers will contain the "digestive" fluid and do not have to be filled. The little flaps on top are supposed to close at low humidity conditions to minimize evaporation of the fluid.

Yours came with more informative tidbits than the one I saw.
