Hello everyone! I'm new here.
About a couple of weeks ago, My Nepenthes pitchers (owned since March 2021) started manifesting these spots. I have been leaving them on my porch (full sun) with no prior issues. They've been catching plenty of insects (I live in Missouri, so the humidity + insect ratio has increased since then).
Now some of the leaves are starting to yellow/die, with further black spots appearing on some of the new shoots developing from both pots.
I'm growing concerned, as I've gotten very attached to my plants. I noticed small insects & white dots in the yellow pot's sphagnum peat moss (what both of my pitchers have been set in), & i'm wondering if I need to repot or use neem oil on the soil (I've done that before over the past couple of month).
These are the first Nepenthes i've ever personally owned, and I plan to keep them around as long as I can. Please help!! Can provide further information as needed.
