Nepenthes Leaf and Pitcher Lifecycle: One Pitcher Per Leaf

A grower asks if a Nepenthes leaf grows a new pitcher after the old one is cut off.

One Pitcher Per Leaf Lifetime

Each leaf produces one pitcher. Once it dies and is removed, the leaf persists a few months then dies. New leaves with new tendrils/pitchers emerge from vine tips.

Don't expect regrowth on old leaves; look for new growth points.
