Heliamphora growth Q

[Camden M]

So, I recently received an H. Sarracenioides from giardino carnivero. Highly, highly recommend. Came in live lfsm and obviously very healthy plants with barely any pitcher loss. Excellent prices… the only down side is that he’s overseas so it took like 15 start to finish.

Anyways, how long (do you guys think) should I expect until I get my first adult pitcher?

Big clump lol

All happy and potted up 7 heads!!!
How long should I expect for my first adult pitcher? Not saying that juveniles are bad n all just wondering.

There is no set time. Everything depends on multiple factors: your conditions, how well the plant acclimates and how long, the particular genetic tendencies of the plant, if it's fed or not, and simply whether or not the plant wants to. They can stay juvenile for years.
