Yes, the Loki and yungfuensis got switched. An easy mistake by a grower because they often print new tags for your order all at once and then place them in the pots.

Primulina do seem to like small pots in general. Put them in a larger pot and they grow larger faster. I agree with sedum zz that they do like more airy soil, but the better way to put it is that they don't tolerate heavy soils like AVs can.

Don't repot for at least 2-3 weeks. Repotting is always traumatic for any plant, as is a change in environment (grown in a greenhouse to your house). One shock at a time is always best for plants to transition well.

You will likely find that primulinas use more water than AVs, except for yungfuensis that I keep drier than other primulinas.
