Crazy VFT
« Thread Started on Apr 3, 2008, 12:48pm »
This VFT has gone crazy by the recent weather. I have seen this on other growers' VFT, but I didn't expect it to happen on mine. There are three leaves growing double traps.

Ban Aik, all my VFTs got confused with the recent hot/cool weather, some grow spring leaves, some go dormancy, some don't know what to do! They grow and stop, regrow back and stop again!

Haha Aaron, saw that two shut traps? They have already got something and are now enjoying the meal. Anyway yours are from this bunch.

VFTs do grow strange or funny leaves & traps when the growing condition is not right, we don't say that's abnormal.

Wow,just seeing the old things..........Never expect to see twins!!!Every one see this!!!

[marvin1997]

ER.......Why do they grow together??

[TS]

VFTs could have many funny growings, changing of growing conditions make them confused.
