Phalaenopsis bellina is found in parts of Borneo, growing in the canopy of trees where they receive abundant sunlight, and experience pronounced wet and dry cycles.

The coerulea form has bluish-violet pigment as opposed to the typically magenta coloring of the nominate type.

The rubra form is solid magenta, however it is believed to be a hybrid between P. bellina and its sister species P. violacea.

Star shaped, 5–6 cm in size, deeply saturated fuchsia or violet near the base of sepals and petals.

The root is composed of a spongy outer layer called the velamen, which is responsible for protecting underlying cells from UV rays and physical damage, as well as absorbing water.

Phalaenopsis bellina prefers bright, filtered light, warm temperatures, and good air circulation.

This means using a loose, airy medium such as fir bark, tree fern fiber, synthetic media, and others.
