I had this Nepenthes growing in my windowsill for several months now. Almost a month ago, I noticed something starting to grow in the same pot. I let it grow and now I see the plant has tentacles.
It may be a little too early to tell, but does anyone have any idea yet?
Is that your ailing N. ventricosa? That might be a bit early, but count the weedier species in your collection. Chances are high for D. capensis, D. burmannii, etc...

I bought the soil from a carnivorous plant nursery and used it for the Nepenthes. Therefore, it could be any sundew because none of my sundews have flowered yet.
Almost certainly capensis. I should know... my plants are infested with them.
Here's a tip: Put your ventricosa and/or ventrata into a mix of coconut mulch, or something quick draining. I've seen that peat moss usually does more harm than good; it retains too much water. That's from personal experience.
Cheers and good luck!
