Thanks for your response…My plant was received as it is now. The planting medium seems to be a sphagnum base. The person that gave it to me did not have a lot of information except to say that it prefers warmer temps. and to not allow it to dry out completely. From your answer, tropicbreeze, I'm guessing it may be a lowland species, basing this on the temperature range that I was told. Daytime- warm- 70's-80's or more, and nights- no lower than about 45-50. I had been keeping it on my Northeast facing deck…During colder nights I had been bringing it in to the house in a window with the same NE exposure. ( 1st picture ) I have had it for about 8-9 months now. The younger pitchers are about 1/4-1/2 the size of the originals. I'm in Northeast Florida, about 40 miles from the coast. Our zone is 8b-9.
tommyr2006---Thank you also….I definitely have some reading to do… :-)

Appreciate all your help!
