So I’ve had a Nepenthes for a year now but it never gets any pitchers when I had it indoors even though the plant was really dark green and was producing a ton of leaves but I put it outside to see if it’ll get pitchers and then the leaves started turning very yellow/orange and really flimsy and droopy...any ideas on what it could be? Please help! I live in Texas in the DFW area and temperatures here get very hot like today it’s in the 80s and it’s still early spring... the humidity is very low sometimes but most of the time it’s around 70-85 humidity. Here are some pictures

looks like to much sun to fast to me.

Yeah...maybe but should I just leave it there until it gets used to it? Might as well right, the damage is done...

up to you. I don't put my neps outside.

Sunburn. You must acclimate slowly. Those leaves will die.

It sounds like you're not providing enough light indoors, and then it's getting sunburned when you move it outside because it's not used to so much light. It'll recover but you should provide more consistent conditions if you can.
