The overall plant may grow to be several inches in diameter, but this is only due to its mounding tendencies. This species prefers medium to high light, and medium to high moisture.

nice and very very small
I have order one of these in the past and it took a bit to come back. Now knowing how fragile this plant is I check the condition of the bulb to judge how the plant is doing. And the bulbs are in great shape and quite large (for a tiny plant) and one has even started gowning a second bulb.
