Swimming in 4" Pot
I purchased a Cattleya Schroederae (after a long search for this species) and the size was described, as it often is, as a 2 years to bloom plant in a 4" pot. When I got the plant there are just two mature leaves and one new growth. It is a tiny seedling, the rhizhome is less than an 1". It is healthy.
I am not happy with the size, but I will admit I am not familiar enough with the species to dispute the 2 years to bloom claim. I can say that when I see a plant offered in a 4" pot I expect that it will be filling at least half of it, otherwise it is misleading.
Am I being unreasonable here? The other plant this vendor shipped me is the completely wrong plant and I haven't gotten a response to my email about it yet (2 days). I didn't complain about the size of my plant, but I am planning on following up today if I receive no response and may mention it. Wanted to get some second opinions first.
I will be reviewing this vendor soon and will update with the outcome.
