6 months on and the minors are still alive with a couple new pitchers. The pulchella.....mmmm...let's say...he's a fighter.

I'm having the same outcome. Three Heli's doing well, but my H. pulchella is struggling. I might try repotting from a LFS to peat mix to see if that helps.

Some can take a long time to recover from repotting.

Nice! The minor looks good. Hmm, yeah the pulchella is looking a little rough. I’d agree with Lloyd, they can take a long time to recover. It’s tough to know when you should intervene, but mostly stable conditions is what’s needed. I have another division of pulchella that isn’t much further along, if that’s at all comforting haha

Do Helis make immature and a mature pitchers? I see that some of the younger pitchers are "hooded" but as they age the new pitchers begin to be more open and develop the nectary.

Some of mine, like "nutans" and tatei var. tatei often make immature pitchers even with mature pitchers for years.

Good to hear that I'm not the only one facing a challenge with the pulchella. I am encouraged that I can see more new little pitchers coming.
