Pitcher plant?

Is not pitch plants suppose to have water in their pitchers I have pitcher plant and it do not have water in the pitcher.I have read in book that they are partly filled with water.I thought the water helps the plant digest the bugs.If they do need to have water should I put some in pitcher/leaf or will it eventually fill with water.





Sorry if it hard to read I am not good with english.

Pitcher plant?
I would probably spray the plant some when I watered it to simulate rain. I don't know where you live... but don't use tap water with all kinds of chemicals in it if that's what you have like we do here.
Reply:Put water in the pitcher, and a little on the soil. Its a rain thing.
Reply:i think pitcher plants usually get their water from the rain. so since your plant isn't outdoors it probably couldn't collect any rainwater. i'm not exactly sure but i think i heard somewhere that the insects just drown in the water but not get digested. you could put water but i'm not sure how that would turn out. maybe you should put it out in the rain...it probably doesn't even need to have water in the pitcher things.
