Jared, Two of your plants are Nepanthes - tropical pitchers. Neither need a dormant period but you need to determine if they are highland or lowland pitchers. The care is different. Do you know the names?

Amanda, Looking good!

I have never "fed" any of my carnivorous plants and I have been raising them for years.

A good reference for all carnivorous plants is "The Savage Garden" by Peter D'Amato, the owner of California Carnivores.

Some three year old American Pitchers (Sarracenia) I grew from seed, ready to go outside this summer.

A lowland Nepenthes - they take more heat

One of three outside bog gardens with Sarracenia just coming out of dormancy. They bloom first then grow new pitchers.
