I guess some people would cut this flower off. But I think it’s darn cute and I’m glad my plant is doing well enough to flower

Beautiful! I just cut my Red Beauty's flower off.

I think I will cut it once it starts looking ugly. There seems to be 2 more coming up 😊

That's pretty much why I cut mine. It had been there for a bit and it was time.

So pretty! I had one that did good for a while then took a nose dive. I have no idea what went wrong but after a repot, it never bounced back. Please share your care tips. I will try again (maybe). 😇

🤔 not sure I’ve had it long enough to give tips. But this is what I’ve been doing with it…  
It’s in a north facing window, so it gets no direct sun.  
Water when 1.5-2 “ from top is dry.  
And when I potted it, I put it in the mix I was using for everything. 1:1:1:1 of potting soil, pearlite, orchid bark and cocoa choir. Which sounds similar to the epiphyte blend on plants so that’s what I marked for the plant
