Q.Do I Need To Remind Be The Wilted Flowers From My Queen Of The Night Cactus?

Zone 70555 | Kelly Hartman added on October 4, 2021 | Answered

Some are single bulbs, I am assuming from bulbils, and some are tiny heads with even tinier cloves. These were here when we moved in ten years ago and I ave never touched them. Should I seperate them and replant or leave them intact and replant? Or just not bother.

I would remove the spent blooms, unless you know that the cactus will have access to moths at night. This will allow pollination for fruit.

The fruit and flowers will not root. They are best discarded.
