I grew these from seed when I first started collecting and I forgot to label them. I don't remember buying and wavy leaf nep seeds, so is there another reason why the leaves are wavy on two of my seedlings?

They look like x hookeriana but it's a little hard to tell at this stage. I'm not sure why they are wavy but some are like that as seedlings and become normal looking as they get larger.

Certain traits like wavy leaves, hairy pitchers, etc. can turn up on older, mature pitchers/leaves sometimes, so I'd just wait until the first mature lower pitcher forms to get a good idea of what the normal leaf shape and pitchers will look like

You probably already checked. But mine would be wavy because of aphids
