How long do the flowers of a Christmas Cactus last?

By admin | September 1, 2010

Jen asked:


I received a Christmas cactus about 2 1/2 weeks ago with some buds just starting and some buds almost all the way open. Since then, most of the flowers have bloomed beautifully, but about a week after the flower blooms, the flower itself starts to wilt and shrivel. Is this normal? The rest of the plant looks healthy, it’s just the flowers that are starting to shrivel up after blooming. If this is normal, should I pinch off the wilting flowers or just leave it alone?

      The faded blooms will last anywhere from the faded blooms will only drain resources from week to fade as theyve lost their perkiness wilted flower will only.
      The faded blooms will keep the plant happy.

      It would last for a week or two according to the temperature you maintain
