I grow some Nepenthes indoors, by the sink, and in standing distilled water. There are two main groups, the highland and lowland varieties. So depending on what type of orchid you are growing, try to read very well first the culture of that particular variety you will choose since you have to consider lighting requirements. The more access to light, the better to encourage leaf growth and eventually pitcher formation.

Pinguiculas are nice to grow too, when in carnivore mode it easily attracts fungus gnats too. They like bright light conditions, no direct sun. Depending on the season, they may go carnivorous mode or just grow similar to a succulent. I get their blooms during summer time.

California carnivores is a good source. It is driving distance here so I just go there if I need to get any. I thinky you can order online.
