Neofinetia falcata flower wilt is normal or my bad@?
I added this plant to my small collection on Oct. 25th.
Thought it to be one of my finest yet  .
Waited until Nov. 4th (friday) for a weekly-weakly fert. water soaking episode, intermediate bright light, good temps.
Could this one flower fail be normal?
Or did I miss something  ?

How long has it been in bloom? The flowers of mine last about four weeks.

Neofinetia normally blooms 4-6 weeks after the first buds open.
Some clones (Chinese wild localities) only bloom app. 2 weeks.
If it was in bloom when you got it, flowers usually don't last that long due to the change of growing conditions. So you were lucky.
On a side note, Neo's normally bloom in spring or summer but this year many plants have flowered twice. I too still have 2 plants flowering for the second time this year.
