Epiphytic cactus

These cacti grow from branches in the tree. While we are standing in the rain forest, these cacti, which have a poorly developed root system and live where there is no soil, experience the kind of "drought" their desert cousins encounter. It can rain all day but if there's no soil and a poor root system, it's basically the same thing as living in the desert.
