Can someone please help? I just got them and reported tog...
2ft to light, direct
4” pot with drainage

They look a bit dehydrated to me, otherwise a gorgeous arrangement. I keep all of my carnivorous plants in a cup of distilled water.
Additionally, it's hard to see from the image, how deep the pot is? Carnivorous love somewhat deeper containers as in a wild carnivorous stretch to reach it's roots for the water' source.

@VocalKiwifruit Hi Siobhan, one issue is that a Nepenthes pitcher plant is a tropical plant and not a bog plant like sundews and VFTs (which come from Nth Carolina). So really it requires different conditions ideally.
I’m not sure but I assume you have them in pure sphagnum moss. While Nepenthes don’t have to have constant access to water (so can be watered every few days), VFTs and sundews require constant access to distilled or similar water. You can find out more about their preferred conditions at some old posts at #cpclubthursday as these CPs often focus (feel free to join the #cpclubthursday group ). You may also want to check your lighting conditions and humidity, it seems to be more important to Nepenthes and the production of pitchers for instance. VFT and sundews prefer a lot of light so eg they can enjoy up to 16 hours under growlights.
