Subject: Counting dionaea leaves

Hi,
I was leafing through Gordon Cheers' book last night (I forget the title;
my paperback edition has a nice picture of some S. leucophylla hybrids on
the front). I read something that I hadn't noticed before. He states that
VFTs have six leaves/traps at a time so if you see one with twelve, that's a
sign that you can safely divide it into two plants. My experience with
dividing these plants is minimal and I work more from intuition than
leaf-counting. Can some more experienced growers offer their opinions on how
accurate this "rule" is?

Thanks
Phil
