NASC auction is OPEN!!

Upper? :D

Generally tendrils don't curl unless they're gonna be an upper. Occasionally uppers insist on having a support for the tendril to wrap around or they simply won't inflate (many times they don't care if humidity is high enough). If this one doesn't inflate get a bamboo stake or something tall and thin up there for the next one to grab and it should curl around it and then inflate.
 
seems to be curling a little too soon in the tendril...my sanguinea did that, and my talangensis....and the pitchers aborted. a whole pic of the plant would help

Edit:
sorry halt, posted at the same time.
a larger pic would help, it could possibly be an upper.
is the plant a cutting?
 
the plant is a basal from the mother plant. darn when i uploaded a pic it was still small :/

Basal from this mother plant :here
 
In that case it may not be an upper, as these generally have a sideways tendril attachment, you didn't mention it was one of those.
