Is this normal? Should I try to do something about it or just let it grow? I have a second cutting of the same plant (aristolochioides x spectabilis) which looks like it's going to do the same thing. Both cuttings activated 2 nodes when they rooted as well.
Cuttings often do this - it's a kind of panic response to the damage of cutting. Flowers are costly for the plant, so unless you really need the pollen, I'd remove those blooms. (If it's female, don't pollinate them! The plant can't support seed production at this stage)
Thanks for the advice. There appears to be 2 inflorescences growing from that growth point I took the picture of, hopefully it doesn't try again after I clip them off.
Well if that does terminate that growth point, there's already another activated on the cutting, and a third unactivated node at soil level so it should be fine. Just as long as it doesn't try to grow flowers a second time after cutting those.
