Hello guys, I have some "rare" plants and orchids and I ordered a Angraecum distichum for 30€ but I got a very tiny plant, this orchid is very rare or I just got scammed and they got me a very tiny orchid ?
Looks like I miniature. There is a sub for them btw.

I don’t think you got scammed, this species orchid only gets to be about 1 inch across and averages about 6 -8 inches tall. So apparently it is a mini variety for sure.

It’s definitely the correct orchid, so you didn’t get scammed, but you may have overpaid for what you got. I looked around online, and it doesn’t seem especially rare, and most websites I found are offering a flowering size potted plant with multiple stems for $30-$50 US. But, since you have it, might as well see if you can get it to grow. You may need to prop it up in moist sphagnum and see if it puts out more roots. Try giving the roots a soak first to see if they fill out and allow the leaves to rehydrate. Looks thirsty.

Looks like a baby straight out of a flask 🤔 Where did you buy this? Amazon? I vote for refund 🙂
