Hey guys,
Someone said that it's a good idea to fill up the pitchers about half way with distilled water. I never have heard about this one. Is this alright?
Anyone who can help, i'd be much obliged! Thanks!

A recent topic, brought back from the abyss, has been discussing the virtures of filling pitchers with milk and / or egg whites. Check that out in General Discussions.
Do they have any fluid in them right now? If they do just leave them alone. The fluid in there is special digestive enzymes and diluting them with water will make it harder for the plant to digest it's prey.

I let nature do the work by raining. Some ppl say you can add few drops of milk or egg white or dilute fertilizer (*very* dilute fertilizer), I think that was how the cp reatiler got my nep (dunno what species) to be of such a beautiful colour though.
Maybe if you take away the sundews dew by watering them from overhead they'll start to produce more dew by adaptation (I accidentally found that out by my 'raining' on my sundews...)
