Answer
Hello Jason,

Floppy leaves can result from not enough water or too much water. In this case, if the plant came bare root, it probably was somewhat dehydrated. You never know what you will get from random sources on ebay as they might not take care of the plants in the same way as a serious nursery would. They may also spend more time in the mail. Watering the plant and keeping it hydrated normally should help out. Just resist the urge to overwater as Nepenthes can suffer root rot in standing water. Just keep the soil moist and keep an eye on new growth. The leaves should stiffen up again with normal hydration.
