Should I let any of these stems flower on my VFT?

I know it’s sometimes better to let the plant focus on vegetative growth. Is she big enough or should I trim them off? #VFT #VenusFlyTrap #cpterrarium #cpclubthursday #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub

I did on mine as well @Stone, I wanted it to focus its energy on growing more heads. My cat annihilated the poor thing. The head on the bottom right is MASSIVE! Holy crow!

She seems perfectly fine, I would leave the stems! I hear people argue for cutting the stems off because it'll supposedly slow down the plant. But, I've left the flower stalks on mine a few times now and the plants still took off, there wasn't any slowed growth what so ever. Plus, their flowers are beautiful! 😄
