What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

I honestly have no opinion on quality of plants you send. This one had only 1 leaf and no roots. You picture a plant with at least 3 leaves on your website. If I knew I would recieve a plant of 1 leaf with roots I would never order here again. It is deceptive as these kind of plants truly don't survive. Refund would be appreciated.

The plant shipped quickly and was packaged securely. It arrived looking a bit droopy, but I've given it some time to recover and it seems to be doing well. I look forward to watching it grow!
