I’ve had the Gantungensis as long as the vbp (3 month’s). The only thing I can recall is moving them indoors; I had all my plants outside this summer. The water I’m using is this -

Do you know the TDS of that water? I'd wager it's got "minerals added for taste" or for other purposes. Which may not be good for the plants.

I don’t have the tds and they don’t say anything about adding minerals but, on the ingredients list it says 0’s for everything.

The price of a TDS meter is under $20 USD. Your time, the frustration and the price of the Nepenthes you’re most likely killing off has to be worth more. Do us , the plant, and yourself a favor and pick one up so you’re confident in the water pureness.

So, I picked one up (hence the amazon box in the BG) &and it shows 3-4 ppm. I've only ever used this water so I'm definitely glad this isn't the issue.

Ok. How does the soil look? Is it breaking down or covered in moss, algae, etc.? Does the plant have any pests on it, or signs of their damage?

The soil looks pretty okay, it is covered in star moss and, from the tag, it says it was last repoted in 11/18/21 so not to crazy. No pests, just the creeping brown leafs.

Yeah, by a lot actually. Outside they had more of a temperature and humidity drop during the day and night. Indoors, temperature’s are more stable; not on the high/low end of what it was outside, more in the middle.

That could be it right there. If you simply brought them inside with no acclimation period, they may still be reacting to that.

How is the humidity indoors?

Well I did give them a little acclimation period (about a week)

50-60% rh.

How did you acclimate them? Is it possible the lack of night/ day changes is throwing them off?
