Thanks, Keep it out of direct sun and a bit on the cool side during the day. Heat will cause premature wilt of the blooms. Water on a normal schedule, do no not let it get too dry. The plant uses water pressure to open the blooms. Some people give the plant an extra drink when it starts opening. But mostly put it where you can see and enjoy. You worked hard for that bloom, you want it to last as long as possible.
