There is this odd thing in the center of one of my VFT and it doesn't resemble baby traps.

Also another question; To feed or not to feed? And what should i feed them with and how often? Live or dead?

Thanks for all the help guys

It is indeed a flower. I'm not sure where you are in the world or your growing conditions which will have a large influence on the reply you need, are you in the Nothern hemisphere, under lights and heated?

Cheers

Thanks for the response! Odd that it is flowering at this time of year

I am in Scandinavia and the plants are indoors at an average temperature of 24c and under grow lights

They should be dormant right now, also I would recommend cutting the flower this time of the year because it uses a lot of energy to produce it and as I told you it should be dormant this time of the year. Also it might need more sun or artificial light because the leaves are a bit long and droopy. But overall the plant looks healthy.

I am hungry
