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: The Philippine Islands. Phalaenopsis stuartiana grows in north and northeast part of Minandao Island near Lake Maynit, in Agusan and Surigao Provinces, and in the Talacogon and Agusan Valleys. It is usually found near water, often close enough to the ocean to be sprayed with salt water, but collection elevations are reported from 0-1500 ft. (0-500 m). Warm temperatures are probably cooler near water, due to evaporative cooling, than the following temperatures recorded at the nearest weather station.
