My n. ventricosa has basal shoots!?

BigCarnivourKid

It's been one of dem days
Pulled my N. ventricosa's out of the terrarium for a spring cleaning and to feed 'em a cricket.  Haven't pulled them out since I put them in there last year.  Anyway, discovered 2 little shoots on two of them I got last summer.  I wasn't expecting them to send up shoots 'till next year or the year after

My ventricosa cuttings generally send up basal shoots after a few months. If the cutting wasn't the terminal but the mainstem dies back and a basal shoot becomes dominant, but even then there's still basal shoots coming up.
