    The nepenthes you have pictured doesn't look very bad at all, but you NEED to get it out of sitting water. Nepenthes will die if you keep them sitting in water for too long. If you have them in the original pots and media still, I would report them with fresh nepenthes mix. If you can't do that, I recommend flushing the media really well with distilled, r.o., or rain water until the water draining out of the pot is less than 50ppm TDS

      What does flushing the media mean

      Flushing the media is just watering until it starts draining out of the bottom, then continuing watering until what is draining out is close to as pure as the water you're watering with. It flushes out excess minerals and other undesirables that may have built up in the soil

      Thank you isn’t that bad for the plant? Cause it’s too much water.

      Overwatering isn’t the amount of water, it’s how often the plant is being watered

      Riley is correct, the amount of water doesn't matter. It's how often you water. The media will be getting saturated with every watering, so keeping watering it frequently keeps it saturated for too long.

    I got mine at the end of June and it looked like yours. Rince all the dirt off with distilled water and I repotted him in sphagnum moss and mist him every morning. Now, a few months later, he has put hers growing more than double the size of the original ones and a little plantlet growing its own pitchers pitchers.

      I’d take it out, rinse all the soil off it roots (remember, only distilled or rain water) and repot with sphagnum moss. And don’t put the tray of water under it.
