The undergrowth consists of numerous shrubs, woody vines, herbaceous plants and epiphyte. Mostly epiphyte herbs (with a few lithophytes) with laterally compressed pseudobulbs. Epiphyte species include multiple genera of lichen. "Tillandsia xerographica" is a slow-growing, xerophytic epiphyte. "V. falcata" usually grows as an epiphyte on the branches and trunks of deciduous trees. Licorice fern may grow over the ground, rocks, or as an epiphyte. The plant can grow both terrestrially and as an epiphyte, linear to lanceolate and glandular. "Dendrophylax lindenii" is a leafless epiphyte in the tribe Vandeae, in the subfamily Epidendroideae. This plant is also commonly known as the Philippine orchid, and it is an epiphyte. It is not a parasite like mistletoe, but an epiphyte like its relative Spanish moss. It grows on trees as an epiphyte. Epiphyte species make good houseplants due to their minimal water and soil requirements. It grows naturally as an epiphyte. The species occurs both terrestrially and as an epiphyte. The plant then grows as an epiphyte.
