If a plant experiences periods of dry soil or low humidity, the pitchers will die off as a way to preserve energy. Your plant is usually able to bounce back from a period of drought, but some pitcher die-off is to be expected.

Thank you!! Is there anything I can do to help the plant?

For my plants I wait until it’s fully brown and crispy to almost the stem before cutting the dried up stuff off. If the plant is getting good light and the right kind of water (distilled or rain water) I would increase humidity and that should help.

I would look into our carnivorous plant group. It helped me a lot, but it’s so much information.
