When a new leaf starts to grow, is the pitcher at the end supposed to be brown? I think it may be dead because it was shipped all the way from California (and I live in Pennsylvania....quite a bit away from California) and it may have been damaged from the shipping. Any help would be appreciated!!

The pitchers will turen black if they are dead. new unopened pitchers are usually brown with a little bit of fuzz on them. even if it is dead, a new leaf will open with a brand new pitcher on the end in a few months.
Hope this helps, Pat.

Mixing small amounts of miticide

Not what you would expect...
