I'm growing it outdoors:

Temp: <35-27C all year round.

Light: Bright, indirect light for most of the day, 1-2 hours direct morning sun.

Water: Tap water tops up the container, water should be neutral pH or so.

Other stuff in the water: Mostly Utrics, U. gibba has taken over most of the container with some other species like U. reflexa present, 1-2 plants(non-CPs) seem to be growing up from the bottom, no idea what they are. No fish or bugs, mozzie pellets are used regularly.

Not sure what else to say, aside from adding water once every few days, I largely ignore this container, only noticed the red Aldrovanda a couple of days back. All the Aldrovanda I threw in there was green originally, but that was a year or so ago.

This nice and thank for sharing.
