I think the fear of chemicals leaching into the soil is overexaggerated.They are firm but just have red spots. Is there a difference between the red spots of dying pictures vs too much sunlight?
Darlingtonia can be tricky plants to grow in certain climates. In-situ, their habitats can get very hot during the summer, but the cold water from the seepages they tend to grow in constantly keeps the roots cool. “Squishy” plants is a common sign of overheating- if your plant is firm and growing well but just has red spots on the pitchers, it might be due to too much sunlight or just time for those pitchers to naturally die off.
