Paphiopedilum supardii

A multi-flowered, strap-leaved slipper (section Coryopedilum) from the mountains of south-east Kalimantan, Borneo. The single wild record sits at about 1160 m, so it wants intermediate temperatures, brighter light than mottled-leaf slippers, and constant moisture with good drainage.

Where it grows wild

Known from limestone in the mountains of south-east Kalimantan, where it grows on rock ledges and slopes in humus pockets, as is typical of its section.

The one wild record is at about 1160 m; the coarse climate grid sits at 179 m, so the temperatures have been adjusted for altitude.
