New Nepenthes Pitchers Browning: Acclimation to Outdoor Conditions

A North Carolina grower's new Nepenthes (3 weeks) shows smaller pitchers browning from top down; larger pitchers okay. High temps (100°F), high humidity, moist soil. The expert attributes this to nursery-to-outdoor transition shock. Advice: keep soil moist (not waterlogged), water daily in heat, provide dappled light (near trees/shrubs, or porch with intermittent sun). Full shade prevents pitchers; full sun burns. Find the "sweet spot." Photo requested for species ID.
