Pitcher plant with browning leaves
Hi guys, I brought home my pitcher plant during the fall and it did well outside in full sun but by spring it was getting too much sun ( leaves browning) so I tried putting it in a shadier spot but it was still turning brown. Finally I brought it inside and now I use a 8 watt led light for 8hrs. The soil is moist and I mist the leaves every day. The leaves are still brown. Any suggestions
1ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage

It looks like nutrient issue. Are you foliar feeding? Have the roots received nutrients (they should not). If there’s no nutrients given to the roots, mild spray-n-grow with an orchid fertilizer and a non-ionic surfactant like coco-wet, adjusted to pH 6.0 applied by fine mist to the leaves (out of direct or bright light until they dry) once per week will support nutrition. Once you get gourds, feed them lightly and you should get back on track. You can foliar feed in addition to gourd feeding. 1/4 strength is a good place to start. O.4-0.5 EC at 6.0 pH.
That is sunburn. Just put it in the shade or put it somewhere where it gets less direct sunlight. Don't fertilize the plant. You will kill it. That type of plant takes rain water or RO water only. The plant you have is a carnivorous plant & it like high humidity so it can produce its pitchers/flowers
@StableChiltepin Hi Keely! Only water your plant with distilled water! If you use anything else it will die regardless of the environment! 😁🪴
