How do I recover this Pitcher Plant?

I bought this carnivorous pitcher plant a while ago and its growth has become stunted and the pitchers are wilting. I tried feeding when I first got it however the pitchers were too browned at that point. It is in carnivorous plant specific soil and is watered with distilled water.

Check whether the plant has damaged roots. If there are, remove them. It is also better to loosen and renew the soil

They need lots of humidity to grow the pitcher part!

Also carnivorous plants should be potted in plastic pots bc the other pots release minerals over time and they should be getting all of their nutrients from bugs🤗🐜🦟

If your Pitcher Plant is exhibiting dry or brown pitchers, it is a sign that it is not receiving enough water or is being grown in an area with low humidity, or perhaps both. Pitcher Plants require a consistent supply of moisture and high humidity levels to thrive. Inadequate watering can cause the plant to become dehydrated and result in dry or brown pitchers. Similarly, if the surrounding environment has low humidity, the pitchers may not receive enough moisture to maintain their health and color. To prevent this issue, it is recommended to water the plant regularly and ensure that the soil stays consistently moist. Additionally, it is advisable to place the Pitcher Plant in a location with high humidity levels, such as near a humidifier, to help maintain the optimal growing conditions for the plant.
