Phalaenopsis marriottiana is a small, cool-growing epiphytic orchid from montane forests and limestone cliffs, valued for its fragrant flowers that bloom in winter and spring. It needs cooler temperatures and bright, indirect light to flower well.
Phalaenopsis marriottiana is a species of orchid native to Southeast China and Myanmar. The specific epithet marriottiana honours William Henry Smith-Marriott (1835–1924), who had a considerable orchid collection at Down House, Blandford, Dorsetshire in England.
This species is found on limestone cliffs in deciduous, montane forests and foothills at elevations around 1300 meters above sea level.
