hello oliver

It looks like you have your new plants in the right conditions. The old pitchers die off after a while, so there's nothing wrong with either of your plants. There are lots of places online with cultivation tips, you might want to check if you have everything right

enoc22,
Your Nepenthes growing condition sounds good.

But I would repot the plant just in case if the plant is planted in wrong media. Anyway enjoy growing your Nepenthes.
