Are you sure they are not opening? They only open for a few hours before they close up, shrivel and and fall off.
Reply:Plants do not like to suffer from extreme variables of wet and dry. Humidity also plays a big part of flower production and flowering. Keep the plant a little on the drier side instead of wet, bot don't allow to dry completly. The main pot placed in a saucer or tray (with gravel in either if the plant will stand in water) will help to maintain humidity, misting will also help, as well as a light spray with the hose if the plant is out of doors. The fertilizer, if an older plant is a good idea, however if a new purchase, it already has been fed in the growing greenhouse for the necessary first 6 months of the plants life. Osmocote is a good choice to fertilize your plants (indoors and out) as it is a slow release brand that lasts for up to 6 months.
