Normal acclimation?

Nitecrawler

Corn is no place for a mighty warrior
My Nepenthes Ventricosa seem to be having a hard time acclimating. Is there anything I can do/should do in order to make their acclimation faster and easier for the plant? I do have, I think, three new leaves coming up. I just thought I would post to see what you guys think. This is my first time growing Nepenthes.


Conditions:
Under a tree (some direct sun for part of the day)
Day temp: average around 90 F
Night temp: avg in the 60's F
I water whenever the soil looks or feels on the dry side.
Humidity is usually 50%-60%
I use distilled water.
I spray them whenever I remember to try to keep the humidity up.
I live in Hollister, CA. One hour from San Jose.

Oh, and after doing some research on here, I put three pellets of Osmocote into the soil
of each pot.

I was wondering if too much sun could cause this...

Any input is greatly appreciated.
Also, if I forgot anything, just let me know what info you need.

Uh...oops!

Why did I post this in this section?

So sorry.
If a mod wants to move it, thanks. :)
 
The best thing you could do is just let it be. Neps are notorious for reacting to a significant change in conditions and staying upset for weeks. As long as it isn't dying, it is just adjusting. Give it time.
 
Moved it for ya. :)
 
Too much sun too fast. Oh and take out the Osmocote. Fertilize either with something organic (seaweed/fish emulsion), or an orchid fert. PM me for instructions if you choose the latter.
