Just as the title states, was wondering if the Nepenthes should have some distilled water poured in? I see conflicting things so wanted to ask myself. I just got the plant today I will add which is part of why I don't wanna just do it. Don't wanna stress it out anymore than it will be at the moment. And has for feeding, is it necessary or just let it try and catch things on its own or is it too young still to be enough trying to feed it?
Again I just got it so I don't really plan to do anything ATM besides let it acclimate in a bag.
Nepenthes Spectabilis x Hamata

My understanding is that if it has a cover it normally would not need any additional fluid added. If it has no cover then you may want to periodically check and drop a little distilled ater in if dry. In extreme heat waves this is also a good idea.
