Yes, it is normal.

I recommend not disturb the plant.

If can, cut off few leaf of mother plant that blocking it from receiving sunlight.

Your plant is fine. The plantlet will find its way. I agree to let it grow a while before considering split. Just seem a bit wet and light starved. Is it receiving direct sunlight?

Re: Is it normal?
 

the leaf looks very green to me.
maybe as Tzestan said(light starve)??

what type of light u givin' it?


Thnaks :)

Thanks Tzestan & Harris,

Light schedule
Day : 0900 HRS - 1800 HRS (Direct Sunlight) except rainy day.
Night : 1800 HRS - 0900 HRS (Florescent Lamp).

Spray with Reverse Osmosis Water when my VFT in dry condition.
Reason : Reduce heat from environment light (Sun & Florescent)

Is it very green is not healthy condition for my VFT?
My VFT leaf so green and dark green.
Please advise.

no need giving it the fluorescent light.your direct sun is far more than enough..
just lieave the plant there at the direct sun place and dont move it here and there.

during night,its producing food so dont give anymore type of light

also,try avoiding watering the leaves during a hot day.just water the roots :)

Haha, from what I see, the bud is actually from the lower plant with smaller leaves. You have two plants there!!! In fact, you could split them now if you want two individual pots of plant. But normally I'll leave it as it is as a big clump always looked more awesome. :laugh:
But your plant looked so exhausted to me, did you or someone trigger the traps to shut frequently?

Re: Is it normal?
 

Thanks TS,
Actually I never trigger the traps without any meal. All my VFT traps having meal (fly, millepede, cockroach, etc).
Or maybe exhausted having too much meals?:confused: huhuhu :blush:

Slight correction : VFTs like normal plants rest at nite. They produce food via photosynthesis in the daytime when there`s sunlight. Any food caught in their traps is additional supplement for it.

Re: Is it normal?
 

Yes, what Tarence said is correct, they don't starve to death without any prey cought even for a long period of time. Let mother nature do the job!
Tarence, nice to see you back. :laugh:
(Shhh.... for those who doesn't know who Tarence is, he is a very experience guy in gardening who was once appeared in a local gardening magazine.*biggrin2*)
