Sarracenia are usually propagated by rhizome cuttings. I've never heard of a pitcher cutting resulting in a new plant.

Like the ol' saying goes... all a good steer can do is try... Sarracenia do die back in the winter, but they can stay on the green side if they are protected from the chill. I'll never forget the first time I overwintered everything outside under a pine mulch. When the snow melted away, I peeked under the pine needles and almost everything was green. It quickly went away once the new growth started though. Give that pitcher a good cleaning and do a beer shot. If there were no bugs in it, it's probably cleaner than the glasses we use anyway. When you're done, shove it into some sphagnum... the beer might change all of the rules  |

Hey..... u can actually preserve that pitcher forever. There was this thing about freeze drying pitchers of nepenthes. I am pretty sure u could do that to a sarr as well. google it out. |

I know my wife sprays flowers down with a ton of hairspray and they stay pretty much the same color and never really fade or lose shape. You can try that.

There has been some luck with rooting sarr leaves , it was published in a CPN jounal last year , but the part you need for rooting is almost completely gone, at the very base of the leaf were it meets the rizome there should be alot more white tissue ,thats were the rooting hormone goes from what i read . Try it out and let us know with a fresh leaf |

I am not exactly sure on how to do that...but I know it has been done before.
