Got another Leuco pitcher opening just as this one is turning, so I'll get pics of the new one when it's finished the opening process.

Cool! Is it just this leaf, or have you noticed this on more than one occurrence?

One of my leucos from Ian has done this to every pitcher so far this year... and it gets annoying after a while. :/

I agree with Richard it is annoying. I have two leuco hybrids doing this too. The last two pitchers that has done this I stuck something down in it to straighten it out and it worked. I wonder what causes it.

Yeah I've done that too to one

I forgot to add that I noticed it right after the pitchers opened so it was still soft when I stuck something down in it.

I get this every so often, usually only on newly aquired plants or plants I've just repotted.

Usually only Leucos, but occasionally other plants.
