No lame question on this forum.
Usually it will curl by itself when it touches something. Some species do not curl their tendirl. Others are vigorous in this expect.
What I do is I take a rubberband and fold it about 3 times around the tendirl neaar to the developing pitcher. The tendirls will tend to curl and produce pitcher because it thinks that it is hooked on something.
It is logical if you thank about it. If there is nothing for the tendril to curl on, when a pitcher is produce on every leave, the whole plant might break from the weight of the picthers. Mother nature is so marvelous to consider things like that in a plant.
This is also what I do to "help" the plant produce a pitcher. It really does work.
