Heliamphora Flower Branching—Normal, Let It Grow Away from Lights

John's Heliamphora produced a flower, then a second pod with a smaller flower and two more pods on shorter stems. He asks if this is normal and how many more branches to expect (may need to move it outdoors for light clearance).

Normal Behavior

Jeff Dallas: "Very normal. I've seen ours branch several times. How many times yours may branch I'm not certain of. It varies quite a bit. You can let the flower be away from the light since it doesn't do that much photosynthesis."

Move the flowering stem away from the lights if space is tight; the plant doesn't need intense light on the inflorescence.
