Hello, I'm wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else?? It caught my eye earlier and I was just surprised. It appears that my flytrap is growing FOUR heads on one leaf! One of them is seperated from the larger leaf, but its still cool to see

Definitely a first for me. I have seen 2, maybe 3 if my memory serves me correct. Will definitely be interesting to see grow out.

The flytrap could use a bit more light and will need to be planted in a 1:1 ratio of peat to perlite if it is not already (just a tip of advice).

Good luck!

I have seen that one other time before in photos. Steve Doonan had a Low Giant (IIRC?) flytrap grow four traps on it many years ago. Multiple head traps aren't terribly uncommon in early spring but anything more than 3 is pretty uncommon! Very cool and thanks for sharing the photo here

Oh nice! My plant seems to also be growing a cupped trap which is pretty cool too. I did not expect much from a Walmart flytrap haha
