Generally speaking, the idea to fertilize nep is to make it grow even better on top of natural feeding via it's pitcher. Is not critical to fertilizer nep in order to grow it successfully but through my observation, fertilization seems to increase the size and produce greener looking foilage. However, I didn't observe any remarkable increase in pitcher size but that might be due to other factors like temperature, humidity and maturity.
It's a slow release pellet type fertilizer. It's apply in the media to fertilize the root zone. These type of fertilizers are often called "Osmocote" because this is the first company to sell it on the market.
I know there are other brands of slow release fertilizer in Malaysia that were sold in nuseries but I haven't see the original "Osmocote" sold in northern region. I got my original Osmocote from Thailand, it's widely available there.
