Sorry to hear about the Nep.
Neps like moist well draining soil and hate soggy soil. It will cause there roots to rot. I water my indoor neps twice a week. Maybe it is getting too much water.
I would also think that the Orchid Food is another problem, especially that much that often. I have never fertilized my neps. I have heard of a few people doing it but I would not trust it. Usually it burns the roots of the plant.

So my suggestion would be is to flush the pot good with distilled, reverse osmosis, or rain water to get the fertilizer out of the soil. Then let it go for a few days before watering it again. Maybe flush the pot again and just water the plant twice a week then.
Hope it pulls through.

I've never worked with these kind of plants, but I did know that feeding and watering it everyday was too much. I just can't believe the person that was taking care of it continued to do it after it kept getting worse. (I even see blue food stuck to the leaves!!)

Since most of the leaves and pitchers are brown, can I pinch them off?

Thanks for the advice. We will flush it out at lunch today.

It would not hurt to remove the brown pitchers and leaves.

It defiantly sounds like the roots are burning from the fertilizer if there is that much after the water evaporates you see the blue from it.

Just keep flushing the pots good when you water the plant a few more times to try to get as much of the fertilizer out as you can.
Good luck

Hi

Lemme give a little of my input on them.
If you are giving orchid food in a mix of water, this will be absorbed via the roots, this would kill most CP's, but the Nepenthes are hardier than most with high minerals in their soil.
Even though this is the case, I would not suggest you do this at all.
If you want to "feed" the plant a foliar feed would be best, if you have a fertilzer your college was using, this would be mixed in water (at half the strength) and applied to the leaves with a Q-tip

I think your biggest issue is your watering with fertilizer, this I think will lead to certain death.
Also they like their soil to be moist at all ttimes, but never waterlogged.
If you take your finger and press it down on the soil surface you should be able to feel if it is just moist, dry, or full of water.
This is why you do not want to have a water tray since the roots would sit in the water which the plant hates.

The plant also likes bright light, Im not sure if there is a light dedicated to this plant in the cubicle or not.

Hope this gives you some ideas to try

Cheers

hi:

I bought two nephenthes from different species and when I took them home. they started to get dry. all leaves are dry and I think I can't do a lot about them. I had one a couple of years ago and it was perfect but this two have dried on a couple of weeks.. I got them out of the sun (because the summer here its very hot) I got them on shadow and kept the soil wet and they are still diying. I don't know what else to do... should I take out all of the leaves and give it another shot?

My daughter gave me a nepenthes alata plant for Christmas with 9 pitcher plants in a round glass bowl. There are 4 of the pitcher plants that have become black on the top and are rotting? This is my first time having a pitcher plant. Any advice of the problem or advice in general? It's a Beauftiful plant and would love to keep this plant well.

Does the bowl have drain holes? If not it needs to be potted into a pot with drain holes. Use a 50/50 mix of peat moss (NOT miracle grow as that has fertilizers) and perlite with a handful of orchid bark. Use distilled or rain water. Give it bright, indirect light. You can cut off the dead pitchers near the leaf tip.
