I've lost an Alata, excella & purple pitcher plant before this, to whatever is causing this problem.

If you see really fine webbing on the plant and little mite things crawling across them then it's spider mites. If you see cottony stuff it's mealybugs. Mealybugs can be easier to spot, if it was sent bare root you probably would've noticed them. If you really need to check they may be hiding in the roots of the plant.
For spider mites I'd order a miticide from FTS under pest control. If it's mealybugs try finding an insecticide with imidacloprid as the active ingredient. Anything else orthene works well. All 3 are safe for carnivorous plants.
On the other hand the plant can just be undergoing shock and just needs time to adjust. In that case just give it tlc and it should be fine![]()
I bought 11 cobras from phil earlier this year and all of them have done really well!
