Pitcher Plant

greenthumb21
16 years ago

I have a pitcher plant, got from walmart in july. It's hanging by my BR window and it gets part sun/part shade. It absolutely loves that spot! It has done nothing but flourish since I put it there. I just realized though, that I haven't been giving it the correct type of water. It gets rain water and I give it tap water - just enough to water thoroughly and fill up the saucer at the bottom. I live in Florida and just found out I may be moving back north to MD or NC and plan to bring this with me. Is this a good idea? For the winter months, I'm assuming it would need bright light?
