Haven't got enought humidity. You put in a terrarium (florarium) or a tray above wherein standing water. The pot not to be in the water! The soil to be rather dry than too wet.

Ttimen 1000
They are Nepenthes sanguinea and Nepenthes albomarginata... The day time temperature is about 15cc-18cc at night and between 25 and 32 during the day
Thet are planted in a mix of 25% perlite and 75% peat.
Pot size are about 15cm deep (6in) and 14cm wide.
They get about 9 hours of direct sun a day......and i would guess the humidity is about 30-40%
The soil are always good and damp.
So any advice?

If you've only had the plants for a few months, they may still be adjusting to your location. Although your humidity is on the low side, my N. sanguineas have pitchered continuously through varying conditions (including 20-25% humidity this past winter).
I find in my case that N. albomarginata is a tougher plant to get to pitcher. I've had the green form for about a year now and I just get hairy little stubs at the ends of the leaves.

Ok. First I would say that you really need to get your plants into something much much much looser. To give you an idea of how loose mine is I use orchid bark, charcoal, perlite, and just a little bit of peat. When you make the change you'll need to water more often though. Another option is LFS and perlite which won't need to be waterd so often.
I would suggest you try to increase humidity, the sanguinea will be fine, but the albo won't be with humidity that low and it being that hot.

Albo likes it hot...why would that be bad? I pitcher mine in 30-40% humidity. Give things time and they'll adapt. Albo also likes a bit heavier mix in my experience. Not as heavy as raff, but not a highlander type mix like you (trimen) are using.
Little known fact: albo likes to dry out almost totally between waterings.

i just recently got an albo. such a furry little plant! its growing and starting to make a pitcher since i got it 2 weeks ago. its pretty fast and its growing along side growing and pitchering aristolochiodes and tentaculata along with others. it dosent get above 80*F or below 60*F so it does do well in intermediate conditons, which i have heard it likes much more.

It is too early to tell if the plants are throwing pitchers, they can grow a pitcher or two at first but in poor conditions they do little there in.
