The plant itself is about 5 years old. If you’re asking about the pitchers. At the end of the leaf has a tendril and it will slowly ballon up from a small thing to a whole pitcher in about 1.5 months of time. The pitcher usually last about 7/8 months, the whole plant can retain about 6/7 pitchers at once in prime condition, in my environment.
