The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Northern Thailand, the Chin Hills of western Burma, and
northeast India in Assam and the Lushai Hills of Mizoram province.
Paphiopedilum villosum grows epiphytically in the forks of tall trees at
3600-6550 ft. (1100-2000 m). These plants usually grow in large clumps
with their roots strongly attached to the host trees and embedded in
matted ferns and mosses, but they sometimes grow as lithophytes or as
humus terrestrials, rooting in mossy substates on steep slopes. The
habitat remains wet most of the year from the heavy rains of the summer
monsoon and from night and early morning fog, mist, and heavy dew which
are common during the low rainfall season in winter.
