Your conditions sound reasonable and I don't think of N. sanguinea as
being particularly fussy as Nepenthes go. It might prefer higher
humidity. I suspect something is wrong with the roots and the lowish
humidity is not helping. I would probably unpot and examine the roots.
This may, unfortunately kill the plant but if you have a pest problem it
would be good to know before it spreads to other plants.
