I assume you're asking about feeding your plants animal food. I'm in
the "Yes food" category. For me, the fact these plants have the ability
to consume animal matter is the most fascinating aspect about them.
They spent millions of years developing the ability to digest prey, why
deprive them of it? While it is not essential for keeping the plants
alive, I find the ones that are fed are much more vigorous. Plus it's a
lot more fun than liquid fertilizers! :-)
This is only in regards to plants kept indoors, you don't need to feed
your
outdoor plants, they'll catch plenty of food on their own.
