Federico,

I'll steal some of the answers from the next edition of the Australian
Carnivorous Plant Society Journal and steal Barry's thunder (Sorry Barry!)
and sort of add in my own stuff.

I grow mine in squat pots which require much less water around them to keep
the pots moist. In fact the best ones I have seen were in a very shallow
tray like one of the saucers that you put under pot plants. Potting media
- 2:1 peat:sand and I keep the water up quite high. According to Barry
(here is the bit I steal) keep them at 20-30 celcius all year round and give
them medium light.

Ciao!
Terry
