Ever since I got this from Dean, its been putting out phyllodia... And what does it do for fall? PUT OUT 18 INCH PHYLLODIA WITH A TINY 1 MM WIDE PITCHER AT THE END!
Nah!!!! Pack wet LFS around the crown and pile a hand ful of pinestaw on it and light it...outside with a hose on and ready. a low heat fire that will burn the phyllodia off in late Feb. before they come up and make sure the ashes are in the pot and get watered in.
Has it got maximum light? What's it potted in? Has it had a dormancy whilst its been in your care? I find leucos can sometimes take time to readjust to conditions when they are suddenly grown in a slightly different environment. It will sort itself out, I've had leucophyllas take a couple of years to start doing their stuff properly.
Sometimes the final phyllodia of summer will finish with tiny openings, but they'll soon be followed by those awesome fall pitchers. Assuming there's enough light and the plant is otherwise happy.
I'd just give it time. One of my leucos bloomed this spring and made nothing but phyllodia all year. Then, in the last week or two, it began to send up BIG pitchers. I expect them to open around October 1.
