Sphagnum moss, very moist - not wet - soil and either filtered light or complete shade. Don't know if they're sold like this where you are, but a clear, plastic cup over them will act as filtered light if you don't have another place to put them. Cut out the bottom out of the cup so insects can still get inside. No fertilizer - it will kill them. And immediately pinch off the dead / dying traps at the root as soon as you see a hint of brown.

How big were they? I've only seen itty bitty ones in person. :/
Also, if by chance anyone on here is into rare / unique plants (night gardening, carnivorous, tropicals, etc.) please pm me! I'm sick of going on other boards and dealing with boring botanists and 60 year old widows.
Haven't been into this hardcore for a few years but would love to start again. k thx
