Distribution

Paphiopedilum malipoense is found in northern Vietnam and southern China at the elevation of 570 to 1600 meters. It is found growing on limestone cliffs with leaf litter. [1] The area where this plant is found is subjected to heavy fog in the winter and rain in the early spring and summer.

Culture

Keep in intermediate to cool areas, with temperatures around 35 °F (2 °C) to 80 °F (27 °C). To induce blooming, water less and keep cool during the winter. High amounts of light will cause the plant to flower more frequently. [2] This plant does best in wet areas and prefers moss near the roots. Plants can be potted in a mix that contains gravel, bark and perlite. [3] Keep humidity at 60 to 80%. Plants should be kept in areas with moderate lighting.
