Q.Should I cut the spent flowers off my night blooming cereus?
My “alien” night blooming cereus had 7 blooms this month. Usually only has one at a time.

That is completely up to you! It may bloom again faster with a deadheading, but it certainly won't hurt to take them off. Leaving them might grant you fruit, if you allow moths to pollinate it!
