I'm from NC and when I was a kid I visited a large enclosed nursery with dozens (maybe hundreds) of mature VFTs. Many of them had long stalks (over 12") with white flowers and a very few of them had new little flytrap plants growing on the flower stalk from about half-way up the stalk to right below where the flowers were.... very similar to a spider plant. Some of these stalks were so heavy they bent over to lay on moss from neighboring pots where these baby plants were taking root, but still connected to the parent.
Has anyone else seen this type of reproduction from VFTs before? or been able to recreate it at home?
I understand most people cut the stalks before they flower, and that sounds like a good idea. Many times I've seen a VFT just stop growing once the stalk comes out.
Just remembering this and curious.
