Having trouble with nepenthes.

[Ordphien]

So last year I told myself I sold finally give carnivores a try.
I said I would get one of each of the basic plants that comes in those little plastic cubes in the big box stores.
And if I could keep them alive for a whole year, I was allowed to buy more offline.
My VTF thrived, as did my sundew (best gnat and fruit fly catcher ever), and purple pitcher plant.
Dormancy was a breeze and I feel confident in my ability to keep these plants alive and thriving.
My nepenthes is another story.
I also bought a basic nepenthes locally, a rather healthy ventrata. I made the same promise as before. If it was thriving in a year I could venture into the more exotic species and hybrids.
Pitcher production has come to a standstill, and when I do get a pitcher they are very small and fade quickly...
I really need help and tips.
It's made maybe one pitcher in the last 8 months.
A strict care regime would be super helpful.
