Answer
Hello Robert,

I am not sure I understand your question, but I think your asking about fertilizing Nepenthes with Orchid foliar feed, is that correct?

I don't fertilize my carnivorous plants, however; the way to proceed would be to mix it in 1/4 or less strength solution in water and then to lightly mist the leaves or wipe it on the leaves with a cloth. You can let some spray inside the pitchers. A few drops on the soil would not harm the plants, but the less the better. It is way too easy to over-fertilize and harm the plants than not to fertilize at all and have the plants survive. You would only want to fertilize at most once every couple of weeks.

For expert advice on fertilizing carnivorous plants you would want to talk to Sarracenia Northwest. They regularly fertilize their plants as they have them in large quantities and have that aspect of carnivorous plant cultivation down to a science.
