Anyone know what is this long sprout coming out of my plant? She’s happy but I’ve not seen one of these before?

It’s flowering to produce seeds for propagation

Do I cut it off or let it flower? Don’t want to drain energy from other growth?

Cut it off if you want it to grow, but if you don’t leave it

Sundew flowers don’t take a heavy toll on the plant, it’ll be fine if you leave it on or cut it off. Their flowers are self pollinating, so you can let it flower if you want seeds (they make a LOT of seeds).

Thank you Ryan…
