Hello Jason!
I am a relative amateur but it sounds like you've got botrytus! I have
quite a few sarracenia, none of which have become infected on a cold
Oxford windowsill laden with condensation and damp. However I was
recently given a pot of Sxcatesbaei, three or four adult plants in a
~5inch pot. The density of plants was such that they caught the lurgy.
Pesticides, I think, are generally dodgy with CPs, use in low concentration
and avoid getting in the pitchers if you must use them, is my advice. However,
it may be time for you to get out the scissors and prune back all infected and
dead material on your plant. The most important point is to increase the
airflow around the plants, and to remove any dead tissue that the mould can
colonise. Do this away from the rest of your collection. The mould contains
spores which fly around and infect anything else they find with only the
slightest provocation!
This may all be nulled by more experienced people, but may be of some use
