I recently got my Nepenthes (less than a week ago) and it came looking pretty nice. Today, though, I noticed it’s getting brown/black at the “mouth” and on the body of the pitcher.

I’m attaching some pictures to show what I mean. Here is how it looked the first day

I live in Costa Rica (Central America), there are no seasons. Basically it either rains a lot or ir doesn’t. The plant is watered with distilled water, and receives bright indirect light. Upon closer inspection, there is also a small a gash at the bottom of the pitcher. May this be the problem? What may be the issue?

Thank you very much, I’ve never owned a pitcher before and since it’s the only one the plant has so far I got really worried
