The 4 main rules are lots of light, lots of distilled or rain water, nutrient deficient acidic media, and respect for their dormancy requirements.

I'd also suggest letting them catch their own food.
People food is usually very bad for the plant.

"A Savage Garden" (Revised Edition) by Peter D'Amato is a very good reference book for growing CP.
I highly recommend it.

Good growing,
Mike

Welcome to the forums! Indoors is most defiantly the best answer to your question (more likely artificial lighting).

Meat is not good for cp's, it contains too much fat.

Unless you're looking to eat it, I would only microwave the soil.

I would be a little suspicious ordering plants from china, if your ad looked anything suspicious, you likely will receive a scam. I did this early on and was not happy. Be blessed that you're in Serbia, there are many nurseries in the E.U. CZPLANTS.COM is a very reputable nursery close to you, and with very nice plants.

Welcome back to the hobby, best of luck and happy growing!
