I don't know what's wrong with my Nephentes, it looks all brown. Is it burnt? But that's strange considering it's winter and the Nephentes is always in a glasshouse. What can I do? :|

My questions would be:
1. what lighting are you using? They need plenty of light. Recommend T5 LED full spectrum lighting which is not too pricey.
2. what water are you using? Only distilled or rain water as tap water contains minerals that neps can't tolerate. Also, they need to be damp at all times but not sitting in water. Neps don't like wet feet. Good drainage is key.
3. what soil are you using? Only asking because in pics I don't see long fiber sphagnum moss. Strongly recommend New Zealand LFSM which can be found online though reputable carnivorous plant nurseries,
4. what temperature is it being kept at? Can't tell by pics if you have Lowland vs Highland variety but rule of thumb high 60s/low 70s at night and high 70s/low 80s daytime for Highland and warmer for Lowland.

Hopefully something was helpful. Good luck.
