Hi Gabriel,

Often when flowers abort the plant needs more food.  Since I don't see any gnats on the leaves you might need to spray her leaves with a foliar orchid spray about once every two weeks.  It should be no more than 1/4 tsp. per gallon of water of a powder mix.  Also, don't let it sit in water for long periods of time; it will encourage rot.  Mexican pings also don't need high humidity, and if it's excessively humid it can cause problems.  Around 50% is fine.  Same is often true for Cephalotus.

Good job on the Cephalotus.  They're looking great!

Good Growing!
