A kitchen-hanging Nepenthes has blackening pitcher tops despite daily rainwater misting. Jeff Dallas advises: pitchers naturally die—cut them off at the tendril. Healthy leaves mean a healthy plant. The plant needs 3-4 hours of direct sun indoors (not just sheltered light). Water the soil, not just the leaves.
See "Grow Carnivorous Plants" DVD Vol. 3 and online caresheets for details.
Good Growing!
