What plants do you grow besides orchids?

OK anyone who knows these plants, how do I take care of them. I know the light and soil etc. But what about re-potting (this pot seems a bit small for him) and what about cutting it? Meaning some plants you can't really cut them back much or they'll die. Some only grow on one stem/clump and can't be thinned. Will he grow more clumps, or is it just the one? Also I had ot cut off the dead (dry) stems and pitchers so now he has a bunch of leaves with no pitchers. Will these grow back and produce new pitchers or will they just be plain leaves? How long will it take to grow more leaves that will product pitchers? Sorry to ask so much, but I want to learn more about this guy!

You can't really take cuttings or cut back tropical pitcher plants. The plant may grow more clumps. The leaves with no pitchers will njust be leaves. It takes a few weeks to grow a new leaf and mature a pitcher.

Thanks for the info. How about re-potting? Should I do it soon, or does it like to be in small pots like orchids?
