Phalaenopsis lowii is a species of orchid found from Myanmar to western Thailand.

Berkeley writes on the species, "Phalaenopsis lowii lives in a zone of low hill limestones whose altitude does not exceed 60 meters.

From the end of November to the beginning of January occurs one dry period, and leaves and stalks disappear.

Only the roots remain, which do not push any more but that the night dew maintains in good condition.

[citation needed] It was recently rediscovered in the West of Thailand, in zones of limestones, at an altitude from 700 to 800 meters either in epiphytic situation on trunks, or directly on the limestones cliffs where some fissures allow the accumulation of leaves producing a little humus.
