    Usually within a couple days. The petals and sepals wilt in many Phal species, or it became green in other Phals (e.g. P. amboinensis in Fig. 6 of the link above). The fruit could elongate for a couple months, but it elongates quite rapidly in the beginning. The link I provided above has more detailed timeline of what happens after fertilization.

    Thank you so much! You have been extremely helpful! Even if this one doesn't work out, at least now I know I've been doing it right. Other than the initial swelling, nothing else is apparent so I'm guessing it's probably going to terminate I will keep trying though!
