Hello!

I got this sarracenia last year, it was quite small back then but I thought it was normal as it was it's first year, when winter came it went dormant and like a month ago it started to grown again.
My concern is that it still look quite small and there is not a lot of growth. Pitchers are quite thin and we are already in June, so what do you guys think, does it look normal?
Also, can you recognise what kind of Sarracenia this is?
The plant gets around 8 hours of direct sunlight, altho living in london you don't always get sunlight..

Thanks!

They love heat too. We've been having a very cold spring here and mine have hardly grown, then they shot up several inches during a 2 day stretch where it reached almost 100'F.

They are fine, they are small as the rhizome is small. It’s too early to guess what it is, you need more mature pitchers for that.
Stand it in a tray of water in full sun and it will grow quickly.
