Yes that or rain water. They do not like to dry out. They are rather fussy I feel when it come to watering. They want to be moist but not wet if you get what I’m saying? Also to they must eat so outside is the best for these guys but not in direct sun of course. Good luck with this! They are very cool plants!

It is indeed true! Distilled water, rain water, or reverse osmosis water work best. I have bought distilled water in gal jugs from the store as well as used my own water distiller in the past. I find the easiest, and cheapest, way to go about it though is to collect my own rainwater :)

Also make sure to use carnivorous soil mix! The regular stuff will kill it! Good luck!
