Cactus Flower Sickness Help
Posted: Fri May 27, 2022 5:25 pm
Hello everyone, I recently got a cactus about 4 days ago (Monday Night). The first night everything was fine the flowers were beautiful and blooming but over the next couple days the flowers have closed and seem to burnt and droop.
After the first night (Monday night) in the morning (Tuesday morning) the flowers were closed which I thought was caused by the temperature/not enough sunlight so the next day I placed them across the corner where it was to in front of the windows and left the windows open all day to allow it sunlight. However, they didn’t bloom at night again.
The next day (Wednesday) I moved them outside next to my balcony to allow it more sunlight but instead it seems like it was too much sun and the flowers started to droop and flowers had black/brown spots. Later this same day I watered it at night and moved it farther from the balcony fence so it won’t get too much sunlight. Nothing changed as far as blooming.
The next day (Thursday) decided to move it to the corner of the balcony fence again to allow it direct sunlight after watering it, however this made things worse and made most flowers way more brown/black. But as a sign of hope, one flower bloomed fully last night while the rest are still mostly with brown/black spotting.
Today (Friday morning) the only flower that bloomed is still doing fine while some are not as droopy but still overall just a little droopy. Not as bad as they were yesterday afternoon though.
My question for everyone is what can I do to avoid to revive the other flowers if possible. The cactus seems to be a Cereus Peruvianus even though the person I bought it from told me it was San Pedro.
Order of pics should be Monday night, Tuesday morning,Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday morning (today)
