Been wanting to get one of these for a while and finally found a local nursery that had one in stock, 40$ though

Literally just brought it home a few moments ago and I am currently hanging it off a tree in my backyard. It was get some spotted sunlight throughout the day (whatever comes between the leaves, there isn't too much foliage on the tree so light will get through) and then morning/sunset sunlight. It is currently in the media it came in and I just gave it a good soaking. Some of the pitchers the lady spilled at the store so I refilled them about 1/2 way with some water.

Havent fed it anything yet and its pitchers are pretty empty (food), not sure for any advice on these or if feeding them helps boost growth like it does with VFT and Sundews.

That's not an Alata
That's a nepenthes Miranda. If it's outside it will catch it's fill all on it's own rather quickly

Nice plant btw....

It will need warmer temperatures to continue the look it has now year round.
It's makeup is of The LL variety. Best grown indoors or somewhere it will continually stay warm.

I currently have it outside in some dappled shade. It's hanging underneath a tree in my backyard, it doesn't have a lot of foliage so it well get spotted sunlight plus morning/evening light. Soil is the media it came in and is kept moist but not wet, even on the little drier side from what I've read.

In the fall I plan to bring it inside and hang it near a south window.

How does that sound? Any feeding or tips you recommend?

Just give it decent light keep it warm and the media moist
That's about it it's a simple to grow plant.
Don't worry about feeding it.
The plant will gets bugs even inside the house all on it's own.
Over feeding it will cause more problems than help. I don't feed my plants

hey, i am also hanging a Nepenthes on a tree in my backyard. Please keep up posted on this beautiful plant and how it turns out. I am def looking forward to it. Beautiful choice and happy growing
