It can take some time for them to adjust and recover. I got some from CPN took months to pitcher. what type of nepenthes is it? some types are just fast growers like this boschiana on my dog kennel.

No peat is really needed. I grow most of mine in sphagnum and orchid bark and only use peat on the garbage nepenthes like Miranda, ventrata, and gracilis since I don't want to water them as frequently.

If it's really a bical you're growing it would do best in lowland conditions - 75-85*F, 80-90% humidity.
