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.
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 but moss near the roots would lower the pH to much sins it lives on lime rocks in the wild. Plants can be potted in a mix that contains gravel, bark and perlite.[3] Mabe also som bits of oak tree leefs. Sprincel som dolomite lime in the pot or keep a limestone in the bottom of the pot works well for the right pH. Keep humidity at 60 to 80%. Plants should be kept in areas with moderate lighting.
