Yesterday I found out that my heli was suffering from sudden death and the pitchers wrinkled. I applied some diluted hydrogen peroxide to the plant to kill off the fungus. Today, it doesn't look as if the disease progressed any further and it doesn't look like the bottom of the leaves are rotting. MAybe disease slowed? The bottoms of the pitchers are still stiff and green. They are not mushy, but the newly made one was (it was like that the day before), so I removed that one. The roots are reddish brown and I'm not sure if they are ok. I accidentally tore a very tiny dead division and it appears the rhizome has a whitish inside. Most of rhizome is covered by previous dead leaves. Is there still hope left or should I expect it to die?

It looks like it’s too hot and has too little humidity. I would stretch a ziplock bag on top of the pot, and put it under artificial lights indoors.
