I'm growing the seeds from last year, although only 1 has survived my attempts to keep them alive.

From what I know, the leafs themselves will look the same between upper and lower, but it's the pitchers that change (and I think the tendrils slightly)

But the pitchers are part of the leaf so you are also right anyway ;) Also, I may just be wrong on that. The leafs may change too slightly?

I just wanted to point out that you may not know you have an upper pitcher until the pitcher itself forms. The changes are hard to describe with words, so you can find some pitchers. But the shape, color, and where the tendril connects to the pitcher differ between upper and lower pitchers.

I hope you get to see them, it'd be so exciting! My lowly plant has only given me lower pitchers.

As long as you give it enough light, you can figure the rest out with trial and error!
