When I feed my new pitcher plant fish food flakes, do I put a flake in each pitcher? Thank you!

Although it isn't the best alternative, it can work. I would start small to see how it responds, as some will not take the the fish food at all.

Do this every few weeks to be sure that it doesn't burn them as well. They don't need fed often.
