They will generally bloom again from the same stem that just finished if you cut it off just past the last bloom
on the stem (it's the 1st bloom to open) (there may be a slight bump in the stem too, when it's finished flowering. If you then keep it in a bright spot give it dilute fertiliser, it will often rebloom.
