Cattleya blooming size

[Cstanm700]

Generally speaking how large of a pot until catts start blooming? This is according to hauserman's standards if that matters.

you cant tell by the size of the pot if a Cattleya is of blooming age.

That's really a difficult question. Some cattleyas need to get pretty large before they'll bloom, while others can bloom when they're surprisingly small. You really need to know the reputation of the particular plant in order to determine what size plant will possibly bloom.

Unfortunately, as the others have said, there isn't a true "definite" size. What I would do is look at the ones you are interested in and then call Hausermann's and ask them. Whenever I have done this, they have been more than helpful. If you are able to go to Hausermann's nursery, that would be even better!
