Don't make any loud noises or sudden movements. Cacti are shy, especially when blooming, and like to be left alone. Pretend you don't notice their colorful display, and they'll put on a grand show. More seriously, how long flowers last varies greatly from genus to genus. Some flowers open late in the evening, stay open all night and day, but are spent by the second morning. Many open only during the brightest part of the day, but close up again the afternoon. Each flower may be able to do this for 3-5 days. If it's cloudy, they may not open at all. Some cacti only bloom at one time of year, and others can keep on making new flowers for months. How long the flowers last depends more on what the plant is, and less on what you do. Please, make as much noise as you like. :)
