Make up your mind, sphagnum.

The point you keep missing is that being an epiphyte has nothing
at all to do with climate.

When you go off making absurd generalities expect to be called on
it.


Here is your call.

There are very few epiphytes in desert climates, they exist, but
they are rare. Wet climates produce many more species and numbers of
epiphytes.

This makes sense, because epiphytes require rain and moisture from the air.
Lacking roots can be a problem therefore.

Unless there are epiphitic cacti, growing on other cacti.
Which in turn support yet another smaller epiphitic cactus.... and so on ad
infinitum.

This humble writer challenges Cereus.Epiphytum.XeroCactumHangAboutum to give
a pictorial example.........
