What do epiphytic and parasitic plants grow on?
Epiphytic plants are plants which attach to other living plants. They do not have roots in soil, but may use roots to help secure them to their host, and for this reason are sometimes known as "air plants". Epiphytes use photosynthesis for energy and generally obtain any moisture they need from the air or from humidity coming through rain and fog, on the surface of their hosts. Sometimes they develop features such as cups and scales to collect the moisture.
