Do you fill the pitchers on the plant with water?
No. Spray the plant with water frequently (it is a marsh plant and needs to be kept moist). The amount of water that flows into the pitcher from the misting will be enough, and the plant will add stuff to make it smell good to bugs.
I have my plant outside, it is growing well with healthy leaves, but no pitchers! What do I need to do?

My plant seems to be thriving. It’s producing several new leaves. However, as soon as a pitcher starts to develop, it dries up and dies. What can I do? I’m in Miami. Temps around 70-80. I put it outside daily and inside nightly. I have given it orchid food twice now, 15 days apart like I was told by the seller. I fertilized the soil. I read recently though to pour directly into pitcher. Which is correct? Thanks.
DO NOT FEED THESE! EVER! If there are insects, then you can be sure that it is getting enough nutrients. The only reason you should use fertilizer is if it is a strict indoor plant, where there are no insects. I have seen many of these killed by fertilizing. They do not take nutrients through their roots at all.
Also, you should NEVER put any liquid in the pitcher. This will trick it, and it won't produce its own enzymes. The media it is planted in should never dry out. It is to remain moist at all times.
The pitchers will die off due to over-fertilization. This is what is happening here.
What you have is nepenthes alata. This is one of the more forgiving species.
I have many that are extremely rare, and are very difficult to care for. If you keep the humidity up, and NEVER put them into full sun, then they will be ok.
I brought my pitcher plant inside this fall its doing well and has lots of new growth but no new pitchers. It has plenty of new growth should I attempt to cut it back ??? if so what is the best way ???
It would be helpful to have a picture of the pitcher plant. Some of them require different care. I have to assume that it is Nepenthes alata, though. This is the most common type, as it is most tolerant of different environments.
Now, the most common cause of no pitchers would be a lack of humidity and moisture in the peat moss mix. These should remain moist, making sure that the moss never dries out. It can help to spray the plant, daily, as well.

Is it ok to put coffee grounds in my hanging pitcher plant?
No! Do not feed anything to the roots. They cannot take up nutrients this way. In fact, they are very picky about their planting mix. This should be Sphagnum moss and perlite. Nothing else. They can only take nutrients through their leaves and pitchers. You can spray them with a 1/4 strength orchid fertilizer, but it is best to let them get insects naturally. Most pitcher plants are very picky about their environment, and are a little more on the difficult side to grow.

So last summer I bought a pitcher plant and it thrived all summer. When the seasons changed and it began to get cold I brought it inside to avoid freezing. My plant lost all of its pitchers but its leaves are still nice and green. Now since it is warmer outside so I have moved it back to its outside location. It hasn't started to produce any new pitchers and in worried it may not be as healthy as I thought. I also reported a few days ago hoping it may help the pblm. Any thoughts and or suggestions?
A Pitcher Plant can be a challenging plant, but the fact that your plant looks healthy is a great sign.

Can you give more information? Images of the entire plant would help.
