I got it online, so I couldn't pick one out that had more pitchers on it, but given time it will grow many more.

The care for this plant is somewhat complicated. First it needs cool nights (below 70F) and warm, but not too hot days. (no higher than 80F) Secondly, it needs extremely bright light to do well.(the equvilent of full sun) luckly, I have a light chamber set up in my basement that provides perfect conditions.

In the wild this plant eats mostly ants, so this summer that is what I plan on feeding it. The temps are rather cool in my basement right now (60F day, 48F night) so it won't be growing much, and therefore won't need to eat much.

I have to water and feed it, but I won't need to feed it untill spring when it starts growing more.

I had a pitcher plant once. I put a cricket down the hatch and the thing chewed its way out of the bottom. I hate crickets.
