I noticed the tops of new traps just barely poking out of the lfsm so I removed some of the moss and found that the new rhizome growth is growing straight down? I repotted because the moss looked like it needed a refresh and placed the rhizome at an angle to bring the new growth closer to the surface.
Question: Should I have just left it alone until dormancy and just removed the moss covering the new growth? (I think I know the answer to this one. lol)
Looking at my other vft's there are quite a few with downward trending new growth but not all of them, is this:
Normal?
Rhizome trying to escape 100-degree heat at the surface.
Crispy top layer of lfsm forcing new growth down?
Growing towards a wetter medium?
Residual multiplication hormones?
or
I don't know what I'm doing but having fun doing it - Ha ha
