nepenthes fertilizers?

[carnivorkid]

I have a few nepenthes and was wondering about giving them fertilizer. I know they are picky about fertilizers . Should i even fertilize them ? I have a orchid plant food that i use for my orchids the formula for it is 19-31-17. I will be heading up to lowes today so i was wondering if i should pick up a better fertilizer what is the proper fertilizer or what do you use? Thanks in advance.

Fertilizers work ok for some people, but I just never use them. just risky and you have to buy it. I'd say just feed your plants, it helps alot and its more fun.

I add a pinch of it into my spray bottle and spray my Nep twice a day.
only a VERY SMALL pinch do i add cuz to much and the plant will OD with minerals and stuff
ahahahaaa
But i enjoy feeding dem the most, watchin tha lil crickets die
to bad i can only feed them once a month

Well to begin lowes is most certainly not the place to be buying a high quality fert.
Try your local hydroponics store, theres one in every town just about.
Dynagrow would pobably be your best bet, 7-9-5.
Just cut the dosage in half or if your really worried in fourths.
