This is the same thing that happened to me the only thing that helped was higher humidity but the sarracenia's that did it where brought from a garden store and I think they need to harden off because I think the supplier that got them grows the plants in a heated greenhouse year round making them look good at first but once the heat is going taken away they go weak and deformed , so I eventually gave up on them and got some from private growers and they are doing fine . So because of this I think it may have something to do with a change of growing conditions like if you have been growing them in a terreium or in a place where they don't get a winter dormancy?

They were grown in an unheated greenhouse before and probably went through dormancy as I live in the UK. I keep the humidity above 70% unless it's a really hot day and the door in the greenhouse needs to be opened.
