Flower Development
I am thinking to document VFT flowering process here. Not only for my own reference, but to share to anyone interested. I know some literatures are advicing owners to remove flower stalks in encouraging growth. As long as the plant is healthy enough, I believe it is alright to go ahead letting it flowers.
Week 0: Flower stalk is recognized 3 weeks after the plant awakes from dormancy.  Week 1:  Week 2:   Feel free to comment if anything I should watch out for. Will update as it progress...

Re: Flower Development
I've let mine flower before, Marvin. Most people let their VFT flower, except for some. A lot of the VFT in Cameron Highland are flowering whenever I see them.

Re: Flower Development
Sure there must be many having their plants flowering before.
Probably not many document the details.Quote:

Re: Flower Development
There are 2 VFTs that are flowering at the same time? if I may suggest, please try to let the two flowers "kiss" each other from time to time, or heck every day, so that they are cross pollinated. I just hope they do flower at the same time so that you can do this. I forgot if VFTs are self fertile/self pollinating, but it won't hurt if you can have a different plant pollinate it.
If you do decide to cut the flower before it ripens, you can try to make plantlets out of the flowerstalk, just treat them like a leaf cutting. Good luck! TTFN Arvin
