Probably just a wee bit stressed from all the changes (humidity, light
and so on). If the pitchers are not dying back and the new one is
still in the holding pattern then there is not much to worry about at
the moment. If the conditions are ok it should start growing again
within a few weeks. This is one of the problems with getting a new
plant, you need to acclimatise it to the new conditions.
