Honestly don't worry about it. The damage is already done and there is little you can do other then to provide a good environment, you'll continue to see damage showing up for a while. Just keep the conditions stable and it will adjust.

Yea, like Justin said, keep humidity high, keep temperature warm and constant will help it recover

So I've got some great news my nepenthes has not died and the first shoot is still alive and is now making two new pitchers! The main plant has also sent out a new leave and two shoots from the bottom:) thanks for all the help and suggestions

As you guys remember, my nepenthes ventrata wasn't doing to great before but now looks great! It has a ton of pitchers now and is growing strong again I have a question though, once it started to grow again it sent up a shoot from the bottom which is now basically it's own plant and that one makes very smooth pitchers. While the leaves that sprouted from the main plant have very spiky hairy pitchers. Any idea why? (Whole plant) (Shoot that came out of the ground) with smooth pitchers (Leaves that sprouted off main plant stem) spiky/hairy pitchers plus action shot of it catching a fly

the "hairy" pitchers are just immature pitchers. they might be caused by the setback the plant went through earlier if they are from the main shoot.

Mature nepenthes will also produce basals sometimes, which are small plantlets that form at the base of the mother plant.
