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: Myanmar (Burma) and adjacent areas in western Thailand.
Plants were originally found near Moulmein, Myanmar (Burma) in the hills
of the Tenasserim region and in the deltas of the Gyne, Salween, and
Ataran Rivers, which are seasonally flooded. Recent collections in
Thailand were made at 2600 ft. (800 m). Phalaenopsis lowii usually grows
on bare limestone rocks where it receives full morning sun but is shaded
in the afternoon. It also grows on the branches of small bushes which have
rooted in rock crevices. Tuberous begonias also grow in this moist warm
area.
