Lack of Nepenthes Pitchers

Hi all:

I have an interesting problem. I have lowlander and highlander nepenthes
plants. All were having a problem in that they were not pitchering well.
So, I bought a swamp cooler for my greenhouse. It pumps about 2 1/2 gallons
of humidity into the 8x10 foot greenhouse every day. I'm still not getting
good pitchering from these plants, even with the dramatic increase in
humidity. The greenhouse temperature runs at 80-90 degrees every day. Can
anybody suggest some ways to help fix this problem with the Nepenthes?
