Looks like the grocery store was doing decent haha. Clean water is best for most hybrid neps >100ppm is preferred. Keep it moist but not waterlogged. It wants a decent amount of light. Pitchers and leaves should develop some color, if it’s only green it wants more light.
The pitchers on it now will likely dry up, but that’s because they hate being relocated.

Distilled, rain, ro water. I’ve seen pitchers grow fine in heavy dense media but in my experience they prefer airy lighter like sphagnum moss and perlite (remember no nutrients). Keep it moist not sitting in water tray. If you decide to repot it’ll definitely throw a temper tantrum they don’t like change. Lastly if your plant isn’t throwing out pitchers after it’s fully acclimated to your place then it wants more light.

Unless it’s getting way more than it looks like…..you’ll probably want to get it more light.

Actually Nepenthes are easy to grow. They need distilled water, keep the soil moist and lots and lots of light – I feel this is the key ingredient.
Also don’t worry if the current pitchers wither and die- this is super normal for when Nephs get repotted or change environments. Once the whole pitcher is withered, cut it off at the stem and new ones will grow eventually.
