What do I do with the dried up flowers? Leave it alone or cut them all off?

    Cut em up. Flowers can slow the growth of the actual plant.

    My Queen of the Night cactus withdraws all of the moisture from its flowers after blooming. The flower shrinks from 12” wide to the size of a sharpie marker in a few days. I don’t cut off the flowers until the plant has dried then out. I’m not sure if it works the same for this plant. The photos show end of bloom and what they look like 4 hours later.

    I watch. I admire for a few days, then I usually cut them off. It doesn’t harm the plant. If it’s a new bloom to me, I will keep it around much longer.
