Hello kind people of the flytrap forums, i need your help. I recently bought a beautiful pitcher plant and hung it up near my window.
But now it looks sickly. The leaves are turning brown/yellow and are curling up. And the pitchers are not producing water. I added some demineralized ( water without minerals, so the roots don't die ) to the pitchers to try and stimulate them.

I feel like it's dying and i desperately want to help it. But i don't know what's wrong. Please help!
Pictures are attached, thanks in advance.

Looks to me like it could use a lot more water. You want the soil to stay moist at all times. Don’t let it dry out. Rain/distilled/reverse osmosis water only.

Yup, looks like it dried out. It should have consistently moist soil, and never a wet-dry soil cycle. I don't like hanging pots for that reason, unless they have some sort of catch-basin attached, makes it hard to water correctly. Give it a good dunk in a bucket of water for an hour and try to water more frequently. It may revive at the growth point, or possibly come back from basal shoots.
