Hi, i’m new to this forum and have been interested in carnivorous plants for some time now. I have a baby N. ventrata and was wondering if these spots on the leaves are cause for concern. The plant, other than the spots, is pretty healthy and has just put out a new pitcher. It gets bright indirect light up until five, and then it gets bright direct light until night time. I water with distilled water only. Can anyone help me out?

Leaf spots happen from time to time. As long as all of the leaves are growing and look otherwise healthy I wouldn't worry about it.

It could be dirt/dust that gets trapped in water droplets and discolors the leaves. Or something that just grew funky.

Nothing to worry about.
