The actual traps/leaves last for up to three months. They can only be triggered a few times, but once they can't digest insects anymore they still stick around for a while, acting as regular leaves for photosynthesis, before they die off - the plant is constantly growing new ones.

The plants as a whole are actually pretty long lived - they're slow to mature and can live for 20+ years.
