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: Malay Peninsula near the border between Malaya and
Thailand, and on the small limestone islands south of the main island in
the Langkawi group, which is just off the west coast of the region. Cash
(1991) reported the plants are also found in the Tambelan Islands, which
are between the west coast of Borneo and Singapore. Paphiopedilum niveum
grows at 30-200 ft. (9-60 m) on north- or northwest-facing cliffs, where
they are protected from direct sun, but fully exposed to bright, reflected
light from the sea. They are usually found in moss or humus-filled cracks
on limestone rocks or on moss-covered tree roots.
