I’ve noticed these black spots on my nepenthes Alata. More spots on the older leaves than the newer ones.

Looks like a fungal infection. I would trim off the infected leaves and replace the soil with something that has more aeration. Use the smallest pot you can for the plant to avoid the soil staying wet for long periods

Shot the photos over to the Exotic Plant shop I got em from. Turns out it’s just mold from the excessive moisture not fungus thank god.
