A grower asked whether "adult pitcher" refers to a size class or a developmental stage.
An adult pitcher is one that has finished growing: the lid is fully open and the peristome has folded down. At this point the pitcher's appearance is stable until it senesces.
A pitcher reaches "adulthood" on a young plant just as on a mature one. The term describes developmental completion, not plant age.
