Just noticed some little leaflets forming on both ends of my pitcher plant! I do not know what species this is, but do they look familiar? I'm guessing some variant of sarracenia.
Flickr is a good website for hosting photographs. If you want something a bit simpler, imgur is quick and easy.
In any case I was able to view your picture, and it's certainly a Sarracenia but you'll have to wait for some pitchers to finish developing and open before anyone will be able to say much more.
It's another growth point, a new pitcher will develop. Make sure to keep it in full sun and plenty of distilled water, so the pitcher to develop properly.
As [MENTION=5343]Not a Number[/MENTION] mentioned, yes, it does. I bought it from lowes and it was already trying to grow from both, so I have decided to leave it. I think it;s growing pretty well actually. The two largest pitchers have started to swell a bit, and more little ones have popped up. Here it is!
Looks pretty good!Mine just opened another pitcher today, it has a pretty nice red color due to the grow light it is under. I almost forgot it came with a VFT- which started rotting and I had removed. Today I got back from a trip to see that a tiny VFT was growing! It hasn't opened yet, but it's only about 1cm tall! I'm planning on making a grow log to talk about all this type of stuff.
Thank you! I think I will need to repot it soon though. The soil has gone funny (it smells and the new growth is a bit weird, noticed algae, etc.). I'm planning on ordering soil that is pre-mixed from here (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FKPAI9C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1). Do you have any precautions you would take for the repotting? I'm also thinking of using a bigger pot this time, maybe 8 or 10 inches. For scale, the previous one was 6 inches.
Pictures!
