Here's a link that should explain the phenomenon in detail.

I think that your VFT needs some good, natural SUNLIGHT, too!

What you are witnessing is false vivipary or vegetative apomixis -- where a plantlet forms along the length of a flower stalk. Occasionally, it can be rooted as though a cutting. Here's a link to some other images, featuring that phenomena, and some other strange things:

Would that happen to be a "dentate" plant?

Very cool! I'm still waiting for this to happen to one of my plants.

 

[jafvortex93]

I have a young Red Dragon doing this also. First time I've had one of my own do this. Pretty interesting.

Lucky I wish my VFT would do that for me... And what Clue said your VFT seems could have use more sunlight , The plant look kinda limpy.
