Hi Jan,

You can't reply from those pages.  You have to reply for follow-up via e-mail, or submit a new question.

Did you get a chance to look at the insecticide podcast?

I'm not entirely sure what this is.  It looks somewhat similar to spots I see on N. rafflesiana which tends to not be a problem, but it may be caused by a small insect causing leaf damage.  Trying a systemic insecticide would be a good course of action.  Using something like the Bayer 3 in 1 could be especially beneficial in this case since the insect could be infecting the plant with a fungus also.  If you can treat with a spray like this, and you see no change after a month, then this is probably a virus which you can't really do much about except keep it separate from your other plants.

You might also take this problem to these ProBoards:  http://lhnn.proboards.com/index.cgi?  You've got some of the best Nepenthes experts in the world here.

Good Growing!
