Nepenthes leaves turning yellow.

Hey all,
I'm a new carnivorous plant owner and I've been trying to figure out exactly where I'm going wrong with the plant I purchased a week ago.

I bought it from Black Jungle in Massachusetts- from what I've heard, they're a pretty reputable place and they did give me some information on the plants I purchased from them. But now three of the leaves on my pitcher plant are turning yellow and beginning to wilt. I have it under fourteen hours of fluorescent lighting (no access to sun here unless it goes outside and it's too cold for that) a day. I might have been a little overzealous with the watering (filtered water) and I do need to re-pot it but I'm waiting for the shipment of flower pots that I ordered to come in (hopefully they will be here tomorrow!). I'm going to be using peat moss to re-pot it but I have no idea what it's potted in now.

I admittedly bought the plant on a whim but I'm trying to care for it properly! Any and all help would be appreciated!
