Answer
Yes, this is perfectly fine to use with tropical pitcher plants.  However, you'll need to make sure you use a concentration of no more than 1/4 teaspoon per gallon.  Because the percentages are a bit higher than what we typically use at the nursery, I recommend using it no more than once every two weeks.

Good growing!
