^the above is the first pitcher I've gotten all year from this plant... quite disappointing. It's only ever grown 1 pitcher a year in the two years I've had it... maybe it will do better next year.
 
Hmm, that's very weird for S. leucophylla (at least my opinion, my S. leucophylla is very vigorous)...is it getting enough light?
 
it's getting the same amount of light as my Dana's Delight is. Maybe even more - I think at certain times in the day the Dana's Delight is partly in the shade. I got the leuco free because it wasn't growing pitchers and nobody would buy it, the guy just wanted it gone. That was spring of last year...
 
Very nice plants!

I don't find that too unusual for S. leuco; every one I've owned always looks its best in late summer and fall. One of the varieties I have barely makes any pitchers until around this time, much like yours.
As long as it's growing, I don't think it's anything worth getting too upset over.
 
^I haven't transplanted the leuco since I bought it. I keep it in the garage over winter... I'd say that's mild enough... unless I'm wrong?
 
Nice plants! I'm not a big fan of 'Dana's Delight' (as I am more of a 'Judith Hindle' person), but yours is very nice.

Good luck with your leuco and thanks for sahring!
