Question

baby pitchers
I am not sure if this is my flava or minor..i have this guy outside in full sun all day in a pot which in inside a cat liter box with distilled water..recently it has been like high 60s..but today and yesterday was like 80..so its getting warm :) my question is..how long will it take for this guy to get from as the picture shows..to having operational pitchers..or fully developed..however you wana say it

Answer
Hi Matt,

From this new growth stage to mature pitcher is usually a month depending on temperatures.

Just looking at the rhizome, I'm not sure this is is flava or minor.  My best guess would be a S. rubra variety, or S. leucophylla var. tarnok.  However, you'll know soon.  Also, this guy looks like he could use some repotting.  Much of the soil has shrunk away from the sides of the pot.

Good Growing!
