I buy small 3" pot size of the minicatt. They grow quickly into blooming size, some even while in the original pot. There are several good sources of well-thought minicatt seedlings. I'll post a couple of them, if you wish.
Here is pic of Psygmorchis pusilla from past weekend. Very tiny, maybe 4 cm plant spread. Yes, cost is about same as buying a specimen of a larger orchid.
