Pitcher Plant Nepenthes

My pitcher plant came with already 2 small pitchers but yellow leaves. I have two questions (and we have distilled water, indirect sunlight, the specified moss, a mister, etc).

1. Why the yellow leaves and will putting it in more shady/indirect sunlight help it?
2. Why won’t the pitchers open? It is a baby plant, but when do you think the pitchers will open? I am a little worried.
