Grower in Oklahoma has N. copelandii in south window (4+ hrs sun), nursery Nepenthes mix, distilled water. Made large pitcher, then paused pitchering. Now every new leaf forms a pitcher but hoods don't grow, seal breaks, pitchers open early. Same happened once on N. ventricosa in same conditions. Leaves not smaller. Asks cause and fix.
Jacob Farin: Common, even at nursery. Not a disease—indicates fluctuating microclimate. Nepenthes prefer stable conditions; developing tendrils are very humidity-sensitive. Nursery sees this in early summer during seasonal transition. Plant looks healthy. Ensure soil doesn't dry out, keep away from drafts/heating vents.
Good Growing!
