This is the first time I have seen this. Anyone else seen anything like it? It's a N. aristolochioides if that makes any difference.

That's really cool. Could be that you gave it such good conditions it decided it could support two growth points.

Matti, I doubt it is going to flower due to the fact it is an immature plant. Maybe got an extra dose of hormones and stuff in tissue culture caused it to split? Tony should help you out more on the plant size and age.
