I just saved this dying Sarracenia minor from OSH. It's not looking too well right now... Does anyone know if the pitchers will go back to looking nice, or will they die off and news ones will grow to replace them.

You should snip off the leaves,new ones will replace them soon.

Try repotting them before it's too late.

I just repotted them, and how far down should I cut them? And since the leaves are getting cut, should I still acclimate the plant to more sunlight slowly, or will it not matter since there is no new growth yet?

Yeah, those traps look done, But the plant looks like it can make new pitchers. What I do to give plants in that condition is put it under a shade cloth, and they do fine, and when they are ready to be put in the full sun, they don't have any trouble. But thats just what I do.
