Hi. I just bought a few 6 - 7 inch tall potted Cattleya orchids.
I'm wondering approximately how long will it take for them to bloom
(they will be indoors)?

Some small Catt hybrids are blooming size at that height. If yours are
destined to be medium size, they may bloom on the next growth. If they
are destined to be full size Catts, they may need to make 2 or 3 more
growths before they get to flowering size and that could take 2 or 3 years.
If you want to tell us the names of yours, I or someone else here might
be able to tell you what to expect for final size.
