I split apart an H. pulchella a few months ago and some pitchers fell off. I put them in a closed container on sphagnum moss and one of them has grown some decent roots. The remaining 5 or 6 just got brown and dried out. I guess you need a pitcher with a decent bit of root tissue attached.

Ya :-) Its a pulchella you bought from me? If your pitcher or the flower stalk have a tiny bit of 'rhizome' on it, it will push some roots and a new plant will emerge, under the right conditions. Liquid rooting hormones help a lot also. Well done

Congratulations Hal! That's a great sight.
I have an H. minor "selection 1" pitcher that accidentally got removed from the mother plant. I've had it sitting in sphagnum for months now, it looks like it will sprout roots but it's taking forever. Anyways congrats.

I have had pitchers root after a few weeks and some have taken a few months.
It's a daunting process but usually works well if your very patient and keep humidity extremely high in the process.
If the pitcher dries up before it establishes new roots it's all over
