Hello!
I made cuttings about half a year ago from my nepenthes and I stuck them into a big plastic jar. They rooted great with 100% success rate. Recently some of the top leaves have started going brown yellow and red as in picture. They have been recently moved (about a month ago) but are only now showing issues?
I understand that a whole leaf red could be from too much light (or enough light) but around the main leaf stalk like in the picture? And the yellowing from too much water? And the browning of that one top leaf?

Also may I add that the mother plant and another two other nepenthes right next to the cuttings are doing great only thing is they get less water currently.

How wet is the soil? If it's constantly wet, then let it dry out a little. Nepenthes like their soil to dry out after waterings.

Just wondering how your plant is doing. What kind of nepenthes is it? I once took one of my lowland plants out of the terrarium for a day, thinking it's got to be too hot in there. It kind of looked like yours afterward, but I put it back and it seemed to like the 90 degree heat and 90% humidity.

A highland plant would need a nighttime temperature drop and daytime humidity drop so the above conditions wouldn't be suitable for it.
