tarev said:I do not know much about pollination but I notice with my cacti, bright light to direct sun plus at least a minimum sustained temperature of 75F and higher to keep that bloom open. Otherwise it takes a long while to bloom or to keep that bloom open. Then it closes down as sunset occurs, repeating the bloom attempt again the next day.


It didn't open again today, it was cooler so temp might play a part. But it's in the 70s in my house and under a plant light and that didn't help any.
