OK so i forgot.

When do vft's put out upright petioles? is it before or after blooming?
Just recieved a Red burgundy with all uprights, and all my other vft's arent doing any.

Thanks /Quensel

It's not really a matter of when it blooms, but more of the temperatures, hours of light... as the heat and light hours start to go up the plants will slowly put out their longer erect leaves for the summer.
I have a couple that I just recieved that bloomed and putting up erect leaves at the same time.

Wow, isn't that something...
You live and you learn, or so it seems.

From what I've read so far, it had to do with pre/pro flowering.
Cool new info for me, thanks a lot

This is my first year in which my vfts are not going upright *which is odd*.

Yeah, you are not the only one... I think it most likely has to do with this seasons temperatures being on the cool side, or there are some that only make rosetted shaped leaves like on some giant forms so genetics plays a role too
