I have learned through experience that the "cute, little" Catts at TJs, don't stay little (at least the ones I have gotten) - just an FYI if the possibility of it becoming quite a bit bigger is an issue for you.

For example, my Tropical Pointer which had 3" pbulbs three years ago (when I got it), and now has 6"+ pbulbs. Was in a 3" pot with room to grow (another year) when I got it, and is now climbing over the sides of a 5" pot. (I also have another couple Catt hybrids from TJs that looked cute and small when I got them, but have increased in size quite a bit)

WOW! they have such gorgeous catts at TJ

Anyway, maybe I'll give off divisions in a few years if people love it so much, haha!

Oh good one, it is hilarious

First, never ever buy a plant with a break or streak.

If you do, keep it separated till you get it tested (ORSV) or a second different flowering shows up and it's fine.

A break doesn't mean there's a virus, but repetition is a big no no. Meanwhile play it safe.

Keep away from catt taïwan imports. We avoid them now here and trade only with Brazil. Better plants and better sanitary quality. Now maybe not the fancy hybrid from China… You can't have everything.

It's lovely (for a Catt). Hope it'll test fine, it's a cutie.
