But these plants take a beating in the cold weather. If you look at a regular
pitcher plant, you may find a lot of bugs trapped inside, and an occasional spider or two, but none of them may be dead. The only insects that it seems to kill are the crickets and the bigger insects. It's great in my bog garden but I won't dream of watering it with tap water or putting on some Miracle-Gro. This plant doesn't care for fertilizer for the simple reason that it already gets its supply of nitrogen from the bugs it feeds on.
