Question
I got a plant at home depot.  Shortly after, the pitcher dried and fell off.  Its now late May and still no newpitchers. I can see something at the end of the leaves, but its been in this stage for a while.  How long does it take for the pitcher to grown back in  full?

Regards

Answer
It's very common for Nepenthes to drop their pitchers when they are moved into a new environment.  Depending on how it was originally grown, it may take at least a couple months before you see new pitchers.  Some varieties can take up to a year before they fully acclimate to a new home.  In general, Nepenthes grow slower than other types of tropical plants, so you'll need to be patient.  Fortunately we're heading into the summer months, and your plant will appreciate the warmer temperatures and brighter sunlight, so the acclimation period will be relatively brief.  

Make sure to provide the recommended lighting and water as outlined in our care sheet:

Good growing!
