This has got to be the slowest-blooming plant. I don’t have much experience, though, and the anticipation is driving me crazy! These photos document the extremely slooow process from around December to today.

They are slow but really neat! Mine took all of December to bloom.

How long does the bloom last?

### GreenJess commented on 2026-03-08

Mine lasted close to a month after it first opened.

Here is the final bloom! I didn’t realize it closed in the night and reopened each day! Definitely worth the wait 😊
