Drosera Madagascariensis, the Hydra

[ArcanaCapra]

A few months ago, I decided to take a cutting from the top of my D. Madagascariensis.
When it started growing back, it did'nt just resume growth normally... It started growing out of 3 spots where I took the cutting!

The pictures are pretty bad, but you get the idea.
Is this sort of thing 'common' for this plant? I dont remember reading/seeing something like this anywhere else. It sure is awesome (and will be even more awesome if it happens again when I take new cuttings...)

As always, thank you for your time.

That's cool. I was just wondering about a similar occurrence. I have a seedling that split into two growth points for no reason at the top of the stem.

Maybe it's just a thing they do under certain conditions, or just at random, really. But either way, it sure is cool.

Or maybe it's just the same as other plants do when you cut off a leader, They sprout from (dormant) side shoots.

What Fred said. I wonder if it can be trained to be really bushy by selective pruning growth points.

Just like nipping out bedding plants

That wouod be cool if you could figure out how to make it bushy, and then tell us how to do it.
