Dewy Nepenthes?
Hi again. This one might be a little out of the normal for you guys. And exciting nonetheless. If you have read my other posts, you know I somewhat recently bought a Nepenthes x Velvet from Cobra Plant. It only has upper pitchers so far, but has turned out to be a really cool plant. Anyways, I will show pictures first, descriptions of pictures will be below. (Click the thumbs for more detailed picture)

Exhibit A: Tiny brown spots on leaves which have been there since purchase. Don't seem to be causing any problems, are not getting bigger.
Exhibit B: Upper Pitcher. Where the spots where can clearly be seen what seems to be spots of dew/nectar.
Exhibit C: Another angle. Note nectar on lid (looks cool) and brown spots on leaves in background.
Exhibit D: Different angle with dew drops visible.
Has anybody ever seen anything like this at all? This particular pitcher has just fully developed, and is now filling with liquid. The other pitcher is in a very similar condition, only it is slightly damaged from shipping. The plant is growing fine, this just seems to be an interesting situation. Also a note that several of the brown spots on leaves are dewy as such, just not nearly as much as on vines/pitchers. As always, ideas, suggestions? Should I be worried? Mold, virus, bacteria? I have no idea. Thanks for reading!
