VFTs grow flower stalks in the spring which are about a foot high. In the wild where they have lots of sun and warmth, growing such a big thing isn't such a problem, but in 'captivity' it can exhaust the plant. It's usually best to cut it off before it gets too big.
They can also divide periodically and a new mini plant will appear. If you leave this, eventually you will get a big VFT with 2 growing points. You can take it off the plant and repot it though if you want two plants, alhough it's best to do this in winter / early spring.
