I chopped it up late summer, wrapped each cutting with LFSM and they looked great for over a month. Then the fall cold fronts started pushing in lowering the humidity. they started looking a little wilted so i bagged and took inside. They get the last hour of direct light as it passes over the trees 150 feet west of the window.(Scared to give them more in a bag)

Any advice?

I root Tropical cuttings, including Nepenthes, indoors at room temperatures.
I use artificial lighting.
I put them inside covered, almost sealed terrariums.
This way I can control all conditions.

Just my 02¢ worth.

Hard to say, I also propagate indoors, it just has less variables at play. I wouldn't let those bags sit on the leaves undisturbed for a long time though.
