First photo is representative of the mother plant from which divisions were taken. Subsequent photos are representative of the batch of plants for sale.
For all divisions, we wait until there is at least one new open pitcher on a plant before offering it for sale. This can take up to 6 months. To prep plants for sale, we cut off all pitchers that have significantly discolored during the acclimation process, so a plant might have fewer pitchers than normal. Some order leaves left on a plant may still be mildly discolored. This is a normal process as they age. Plants will develop a full set of pitchers within another 6-12 months.
