I didn't know VFTs had shoot apical meristems... Do they have an actual one? I know the rhizome is a modified stem, but since it's a rosette forming plant I never knew there was one.None of the upper leaves appear to be forming roots. It's as if the apical meristem and the flower stalk fused somehow.
It would be interesting to pull one of the upper leaves and see if it would develop roots or plantlets like a normal leaf pulling.
