What light conditions is it getting?
a couple of mine look wrinkly @ the stem too but they are fine
It at first wasnt getting to much light but after it started to wilt i moved it directly under a flourescence bulb. Just a typical plant and aquarium bulb. It is sitting 6 inches from it now and has plently of light but i dont think that is the case. this wilting though is really bad the plant leaves folded up and look wierd looking i will post a picture. I think it is SDNS. Sudden death Nepenthes syndrome actually i made that up.
Anybody? help theres a picture added?
From looking at the pic, are you using the water tray method?
I did check and it kinda looks like some mite. i will spray it and see from there.
Ahhhhhhhh! I hope it isn't spider mite. Do you see any webs?

What looks to me is a whiteish residue on the leafs did you fertalize it with anything or are you using hard water to mist it? Also what types plants has it been near, spider mites love ivys and also shiffarelas-SP? unbrella plant and they have a tendancy to leave a whiteish residue on the leafs, anyways spider mite can do that to a plant pretty quickly. I hope someone here can help yaz as it looks to be going down hill pretty quickly..
I think its possibly the hard water water from the filterthat i used to spray it. i will have to go collect some snow to water it from now on.
