I just got this Nepenthes a couple weeks ago and its pitchers have been turning brown and crinkly. It's watered regularly with distilled water so soil stays moist. I have moved since getting it and it was in low light for a little so I'm hoping it's stress considering none of its leaves have died just the pitchers

unfortunately it might be a case of overwatering, distilled water is fantastic but the main consumption is from flies and water will disrupt this equilibrium :) try it out for a week and see what happens - good luck :)

Will crickets work? I already buy them for my spider and it'd be great if I could feed them the same food

I bought it mid-June but was moving apartments so it went through different light intensities and being physically moved from the store to one place to a second apartment in less than a month
