ORIGIN/HABITAT: Borneo. Plants grow in northern Sarawak near the border
with Brunei at 500-1950 ft. (150-600 m). They often grow on vertical,
southeast facing limestone cliffs that are shaded except for scattered
morning light. Paphiopedilum sanderianum usually grows on limestone rocks
with roots embedded in moss and leaf litter in cracks and water seepages.
Plants occasionally grow in tree crotches with their roots in accumulated
moss and leaf litter.
