I plays the flute, but I also learned piano for one year now as secondary instrument to assist my flute playing. How many years of private piano lesson should i take before i could play, and develop my piano skills on my own?

I think it is different for everyone, but I’m assuming you have a good foundation of music theory already from the flute. I’d say once you are comfortable with reading both clefs including some ledger lines on both and can easily coordinate both hands together with chords and melody playing intermediate level music, you would be able to continue on your own.
However, this takes an extreme amount of dedication on your part to continue developing skills without a teacher to push you along. In my own experience, I took piano lessons from third grade up until college graduation. Although I want to continue improving musically and challenging myself with new songs, I find that I rarely sit down and practice on a regular basis and choose new songs. It is much easier to do when you have a teacher assigning you things and listening to you once a week. It really helps keep you on track and focus. It may be worth the money if you are serious about it to keep the teacher!!
On the average I would say 4 or 5 years. Even then you would have to be very serious about it.
i’d say 6 or more.
i quit piano lessons after 9 years and now i’m developing my skills on my own, which works out very well for me
