I believe the new leaves come from the top of the plant but my friend broke off his top leaf accidentally. How long will it take for this plant to rebound and produce new leaves with pitchers?

they come from the top. your friends plant will probably halt growth. sanguinea is a tough plant though and it will probably make a basal shoot or a stem offshoot. itll be ok. how big is it?

I specifically remember answering this question before. Did you use the search feature?
It will take approximately the same amount of time it would have taken for the broken leaf to grow and the next one under it to start developing, had nothing ever happened. This is different for everyone because we all have different conditions. If you broke off the meristem, a node should activate in a couple of weeks.
If you take a cutting, it would grow roots, and another node would activate, which would create another apical meristem. The original growth point is gone, so the plant will only continue to grow through an activated node or a basal
