Pretty sure it's botrytis.
Annoying as heck. I get it on my Cephalotus too, along the peristome.
I keep my Cephalotus in room humidity, and I bottom water, but tall enough pots that the top doesn't get moist to keep it away. I had luck with a sulphur soak a few years ago, seems to kick it back for a bit. Im going to try it again soon. I will fill a bucket with water and add wettable sulfur and give it a few dunks. Wash out the pitchers and see what happens. After I'll put the pot in a completely different room to see if it comes back or not.


I believe neem is effective against it as well, but pick one or the other to try, don't mix them.

thanks for the info.

I think it was that also trying to look it up online just wasn't sure. I have it in a tallish pot. bottom water it just enough , cm or so , grows really well. think the spot I had it in got blocked by the Sarrs from airflow of the fan thats just above. I just increased the fan and moved the pot to other side so it airs out better.

I want to take it out and leave in the open but dont want to spread those spores to the other plants I have out - inter neps , VFT , bladderworts. ( they are loving my room temp/RH)

I have to try a sulfur bath one day. not sure how. any guidance would be appreciated
 
When I get around to doing it what I will do is take a bucket or container with RO water and then put some sulfur in there at whatever concentration they recommend and then take the pot of cephalotus and stick it in, merge it completely. Let that sit in there for 5 minutes or so and then take it out, flush the inside of the pitchers out with some RO water with a little syringe or squirt bottle. I haven't done it that way and I don't know if it'll work but I will try it on a pot of cephalotus that I wouldn't care if I lost.
 
please let me know how that goes. I was thinking I need to redo my soil. give it a boost. never used the stuff. no side effects to the plants ?
if not is it something one should add after if they disinfect new soil , killing anything in it. ?
 
I've put mycorrhizal fungi in Cephalotus before, as I read they liked it, but never bothered with anything else. No idea if it worked I didn't have a control pot.

You can add it later, sprinkle on top and water in or mix it with water and water with that.
