After potting, water thoroughly and place in a shaded area, then after 20 days place in a well-ventilated semi-shaded area. During the growing period, water to keep the potting soil moist, and also pour water into the leaf traps, otherwise the leaf traps are prone to scorching and withering.

In winter, reduce watering, and place in a spot with room temperature above 16°C and sufficient sunlight. During the growing period, supplement with nitrogen fertilizer 1-2 times per month. Also apply some compound fertilizer or decomposed organic fertilizer to promote the formation of leaf traps. Repot once every two years, prune old and rotten roots, and add new potting soil.
