What other information ?

Maybe a picture would help and what kind of pitcher as well

Use distilled water only, or rain water. I used to use the distilled water that drained through my other plants to save water. This only gives the Nepenthes nutrients from the water, making it have no need to produce pitchers. Use distilled water. And keep it happy it should produce pitchers eventually
