Geographic Distribution: Sarawak, Borneo.
Elevation: 60-500 meters
Blooming Season (North): Usually blooms in the spring to early summer. (May-July)
Light requirements: Paph stonei grows on cliffs and rock faces that get their shade from trees growing nearby. The light is generally bright, though not direct.
Temperatures :
Substrate: Stonei primarily clings to limestone rock and cliffs, with very little debris covering its roots. The pH is alkaline.
Water: Although it does get mist and condensation year round, it tends to grow in dryer conditions than some other Paphs. During the monsoon season (winter), it gets quite a bit of rain, but conditions are dryer during the summer.
Humidity: Moderate humidity. Good air movement is especially important.
My photos on this page show a Paph stonei specimen that bear a much stronger resemblance to the drawing on the left.
