I would wait 9 too :). Either way that or throw it away. I wouldn't do that if it is a healthy plant.
The 2 years waiting is also an estimated time for young plants that they show in a shop when you buy one. All depends on the size of the seedling, conditions and how you treat it. She does have a hard time with me sometimes and I think I should fertilize it more often.
All good :)

I'd probably think it was dead by that time. I've had orchids before and they seem to be a very resilient plant but something always happens to mine
