It was repotted into a 4 inch pot when I got it. She had grown them from a compot.

Thank you. I have been thinking about placing an order with them. Have you been happy with what you received? Were your plants in 4" pots blooming size?

Not sure because she bought them as compots and they are mericlones. She grew them for about 1 year and moved them into 4 inch pots. It had 4 bulbs that were about 5 inches high.

The newest bulb and leaf is about 8 inches high.

Sorry, didn't answer your question!

I had grown the plant for 2 years and it was real pale yellow and slow growing until I added more fertilizer to it.

It is really vigorous this spring and I grow them really warm year round.

No, you did. I am hoping if I purchase one it is vigorous. Maybe this variety isn't?

Hard to say. Tiny mericlone plants or even Cattleya seedlings can take up to 5-7 years before they reach maturity. A very slow process for them to grow!

Once they are mature the new pseudobulb won't take that long to grow. I think that is what is happening to my Cattleya.
