Does my Venus need to be repotted? She’s in her original pot from the nursery.

this is a pitcher plant, not a VFT. so interesting that it has no mature pitchers but SO MANY leaves. I am no expert on these however

Oh! The nursery said it was a Venus! Thanks for letting me know

This is a nepenthes alata. They need a ton of light especially one with so many leaves, in order for it to pitcher. 10+ hours at least 4 need to be direct. I can help with anything nepenthes related here or @nepenthomancer on IG.
