Oh, I have one clone that open just one flower at the time at 80F but it have given me 10 consecutive single flower on one flowerstem. This year I had it outside on my balcony for a very long time in much cooler conditions and I got 6 flower on one stem this year. ALL opened up and stayed for 14 days...

S. cernua seem to be a very diverse species on temperature demand and flowering display.

I will try to put this plant in a lower temperature this season ....but brighter....my trick is to put it near the window maybe six inches near the glass but it will get brighter light....so we will see what will happen
