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: Sumatra, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Java, and Celebes. At first glance, Paphiopedilum lowii appears to be epiphytic, lithophytic, and terrestrial, but it is a humus epiphyte. It grows with its roots penetrating thick moss on trees, in pockets of leaf litter, or on boulders or cliff faces with roots buried in moss or humus filled pockets. Plants grow near water or in areas with heavy rainfall and are usually found in bright locations, frequently in full sun for part of the day. They are normally found at 2500-4500 ft. (760-1370 m) but have been reported from as low as 800 ft. (250 m) and as high as 5250 ft. (1600 m).
