I ordered a Nepenthes smilesii x sibuyanensis from Carnivero. It arrived in perfect condition but after repotting it it looks likes it's dying and the pitchers are dying as. The left is today and the 2 to the right are when I just received it.

I don't think that it dying. How did you acclimate your new plant to your growing conditions??? Usually when a plant starts declining it's because it shocked by a different environment. Most Nepenthes really benefit from more humidity..

I tried misting it daily.

Any other tips

Misting is not humidity. That probably won't help since you are just getting the plant wet. Are you familiar with the term bagging a plant. Put the whole plant pot and all inside a Ziploc bag. And seal it. Each day open the bag to give it fresh air. Do this for about a week. Then the next week poke a few holes in the bag. Continue to do a few more holes and gradually pull apart the seal of the baggie. This whole process takes 3-4 weeks so that the plant has a chance to get used to it's new space gradually. During this time keep the medium more on the barely moist side. Because is will get enough moisture from the higher humidity inside the bag.

Oh ok thanks.

Should I do that to this plant too or is it too late.

It's still green so it can be saved. This definitely looks like humidity shock.

Should I still keep them in the windowsill

I was going to ask you about your lighting for your plants. I am not sure that window sill is bright enough for your Nepenthes. Some Nepenthes can be grown similar to house plants in a window. But that hybrid that you mentioned will probably need some supplimental lighting..

And you also mentioned that you repotted it right away ? That could also have contributed to the stress that your plant is experiencing.

Ok oh thank you.
