CAN YOU FERTILIZE NEPENTHES? Feeding Pitcher Plants

In today's video, we're going over a common question, 'CAN YOU FERTILIZE NEPENTHES?' Clearly, Nepenthes catch their own 'food' in the form of anything that falls into the pitchers, but as growers, we always want our plants to grow bigger, faster and better, so can we help that process by fertilizing the roots of Nepenthes, applying a foliar feed or by dropping extra things into the pitchers? If our plants are indoors and not able to fertilize themselves, should we fertilize Nepenthes by adding 'pellets' into the pitchers?
I was surprised at the answer, and you might be too!
