Hi Uk Vft,
good luck with your VFT.
I'm sure it will work out.

Thanks strobo,

ive noticed there is actually 2 Vft's there as it has 13 Traps, a cluster of small leafs and separate cluster of large leafs. weather it seperated or grew from seed. hopefully re-pot it tomorrow.

Welcome! I bought my first VFT the day before yesterday. I went to my plant to count the traps and I have 15. Does this mean I can separate it too?

Hmmm some expert help is needed here haha

i read some where that a Vft has between 4-7 leaves (traps) but i can see 2 separate growth areas which makes me think there is 2 plants.
