Offshoots on a large nepenthes

[fc3srx713b]

hey there, i currently have a ventricosa that has one offshoot that has little tiny leaves and another thas about to burst out. the plant is about a foot tall and sorta slants. will the offshoots have lower or upper pitchers as soon as they star growing good?

I have noticed that basal shoots will start with lower pitchers.
Shoots off the vine can vary.

 

[nepenthes gracilis]

Lowers if its near the bottom. You can chop the big vine back if you wish to.

i have seen offshoots on ventricosa, most are lower pitchers and it ends up looking as if a baby plant is growing on the side of your ventricosa

Same thing is happening w/ my carunculata. If you don't chop any of the stems off, you end up with multiple vines that can all flower or be chopped off, divided, and traded for other species!
