Hi this is my first post here. I just got a Scarlet Belle and was wondering some basic care instructions. Should I put it in a tray of water and just basic stuff like that. Any help?

Welcome to the Forum.

Sarracenia are temperate plants.
The big 4 are lotsa light, full sun if you can get it.
Pure water, distilled, rain, or reverse-osmosis-filtered. I sit mine in trays with 1/4 inch - 1/2 inch water in it.
Nutrient free acidic growth media like peatmoss or sphagnum moss.
Attention to dormancy, Sarrs need a 3 or 4 month Winter rest.

The International Carnivorous Plant Society (ICPS) has some good information posted here: https://www.carnivorousplants.org/grow/ ... Sarracenia

Good growing,
Mike
