flowering again?

is it normal for a vft to try and flower twice in a short
space of time? :eek:

im asking this becuse its only a small plant and was half dead when i got it 2 days ago.... :eek:
i think it WOULD kill it if it was to flower.

anyone?
 
Coma,
Since your plant is small, I would probably cut the flower off. Making the plant to produce flowers causes the plant to waste energy. If all the ``energy'' of the plant is gone, it will slowly lead to death.
 
yeh i guessed that so i cut it of as far down as i could,how about it trying to flower a second time tho? is that normal....

thx

I'm not quite sure if it is not normal or not. But my brother (hplants03) had a VFT (common) and it kept on flowering even out of spring time. There were around 2 stems per plant sometimes even three stems and their were five plants in a three inch plant. NO JOKE!!!!

It's not uncommon for them to flower twice or during strange times of the year.
