My nepenthes hamata

[Hechtioides]

I bought a BE 3380. It's been over 2 weeks
since I've been at my house and so far no
problems. However, the coloring in the
pitcher is not done and the leaves
burned. I want Hamata's black color pitcher. What conditions are required for Hamata to be colored?

Patience. You just bought a plant (a young one at that, which will not sport adult shape or colors) with specific humidity needs and a highland preference, within a genus where short-term means a matter of months, not days.

My environment is about 66°F during the day.
~80°F, 55.0°F at night
Maintain ~68°F. Humidity remains between 60 and 70 percent. Do you think this environment is okay?

Actually that environment sounds really good for Hamata. Tip: Your Hamata will tell you if it wants a higher humidity by lowering the lid to cover the pitcher opening, soon followed by pitcher wilting if you don’t get at it soon enough.
