rainforest plants
Tropical understory species
Plants native to rainforests—the dense, wet forests near the equator—adapted to high humidity, heavy rainfall, and low light beneath the canopy.
Many familiar houseplants are rainforest plants: pothos, philodendrons, ferns, orchids.
Rainforest plants often struggle in dry indoor air.
The term appears in discussions of biodiversity, medicine, and conservation, since rainforests contain more plant species than any other biome.
