| Bamboos, ferns, bromeliads, epiphytes and orchids will all thrive in this microclimate. |
|
| Many vascular epiphytes share the understorey environment with terrestrial herbs, shrubs and tree seedlings. |
|
| The reason you can is that most popular cultivated orchids are epiphytes, or air plants, which most often grow on trees or the surfaces of rocks. |
|
| Because orchids are primarily tropical epiphytes and small herbs, they do not have a fossil record. |
|
| Most of them are epiphytes, growing with their roots not in soil but instead harmlessly clasping tree branches high in the forest canopy. |
|
| A survey of nine additional species, representing the four major taxonomic groups of vascular epiphytes, answered the first question. |
|
| Many non-geniculate coralline algae have been suggested to actively inhibit colonization of epiphytes by shedding epithallial cells. |
|
| Their many wild habitats include palm trees, tree holes, arboreal epiphytes, burrows, rock crevices, or other animal refuges. |
|
| A cool, bright spot out of direct sun is best for these tropical epiphytes that grow naturally in rain-forest trees. |
|
| Those plants which live as epiphytes in the rainforest canopy are subject to intense light and drying winds. |
|
| The epiphytes hanging from the tree branches are either bromeliads or orchids. |
|
| They are mostly epiphytes and lithophytes with fleshy or wiry stems that may grow erect or pendant. |
|
| In epiphytes known values of are high even compared to mesophytic terrestrial plants. |
|
| This finding sheds new light on a recent study on cuticular properties of vascular epiphytes. |
|
| Cymbidiums and dendrobiums are epiphytes, as are most of the orchids that are commonly cultivated. |
|
| In more humid areas, an exuberant mesophyllous mountain forest with several strata and abundant climbers and epiphytes. |
|
| Many tropical orchids are epiphytes, growing on the side of trees, and will not do well if their roots stay wet. |
|
| Indeed, it tends to be the habitat of so many epiphytes that it is almost impossible to see the trunk, branches, leaves or flowers. |
|
| Shrubs, forest floor species, and epiphytes exploit the higher light levels, and the high humidity encourages the growth of mosses and ferns. |
|
| In general, epiphytes grow by using other plants as support, in the tropics, surrounded by rainforest. |
|
|
|
| Peperomia species mostly grow as low herbs, although a few grow on trees as epiphytes. |
|
| Given their narrow habitat requirements, many epiphytes rely on wind for seed dispersal and have feathery or dustlike seeds. |
|
| Nepenthes species are perennial herbaceous plants and frequently grow in very acidic soil, though some are epiphytes. |
|
| It seems like a mossy jungle with tall trees decorated with orchids, mosses, bromeliads, and other epiphytes. |
|
| Where shading is not excessive, mangrove prop root epiphytes may also be highly productive. |
|
| This means that fig trees start out their lives by using another plant as support: they are epiphytes. |
|
| Afternoon hike in the beautiful primary rainforest reserve surrounding the lodge including many huge trees festooned with epiphytes. |
|
| Most grow above the ground, as epiphytes, attaching themselves to the bark of trees by means of their roots. |
|
| There are many epiphytes on bark among them. |
|
| Unlike bare soil, the bare bark does not become colonised by vascular plants and so the surfaces are available to epiphytes for very long periods of time and become unusually rich in species. |
|
| Shade-tolerant ground herbs and epiphytes such as orchids and Araceae, among others, will probably be affected by logging and might decrease in abundance and diversity. |
|
| Use a machete to remove epiphytes, taking care not to damage the bark. |
|
| A majority of orchids are perennial epiphytes, which grow anchored to trees or shrubs in the tropics and subtropics. |
|
| These woodlands are dominated by canopy trees such as Handroanthus impetiginosus and characterized by frequent lianas and epiphytes. |
|
| While mosses often grow on trees as epiphytes, they are never parasitic on the tree. |
|
| Most bromeliads are epiphytes, and most epiphytes grow in partial shade on tree branches. |
|
| Few other trees typically coexist with Nothofagus in these cool forests, which also lack climbers and vascular epiphytes, although they may have a great abundance of mosses on tree trunks, branches, and sometimes leaves. |
|
| They include not only mechanically independent forms, whose stems are self-supporting, and saprophytic plants but also mechanically dependent synusiae such as climbers,, epiphytes, and parasitic plants. |
|
| Some of the tallest trees and lianas, and the epiphytes they support, bear flowers and fruits at the top of the rainforest canopy, where the air moves unfettered by vegetation. |
|
| The second technique involves exposing in polluted thalli branches covered with epiphytes. |
|
|
|
| But certain epiphytes, those wily plants that live on trees, derive much of their nutrients from visiting ants, a new study shows. |
|
| Only clean and visibly healthy algae without observable epibenthos and epiphytes were selected for the feeding experiments. |
|
| Epiphyllums, like orchids, are epiphytes, which means they live in trees. |
|
| The majority of aroids are climbers and epiphytes of tropical rainforests. |
|
| The nature of the surface of a plant also determines the number and sort of Epiphytes which lodge on it. |
