Secondary hemiepiphytes start life on the ground or on part of a tree trunk very close to the ground, where the seeds sprout.

After it grows upwards, the base of the stem of the hemiepiphyte dies and rots, thereby losing its connection to the soil.

Wind blown seeds often germinate in the form of a hemiepiphyte on the trunks of rocks and tree ferns such as " Dicksonia antarctica ".

Epiphytes, hemiepiphytes like " Coussapoa " ( Urticaceae ), and a usually dense understory with tree ferns, Ericaceae, etc . are also typical habitat features.

It is a hemiepiphyte, that is, it grows as an epiphyte on rocks or other trees at the start of its life and resembles a strangling fig ( Ficus ).
16.
Despite having holes in its trunk which should encourage debris and seeds to collect, hemiepiphytes are relatively uncommon, meaning that animals are not attracted to it to feed and then defecate.
17.
Also called hemiepiphytes, initially, they start as epiphytes or air plants and grow several hanging roots that eventually touch the ground and from then on, encircling and suffocating the host tree.

These are hemiepiphytes, plants capable of beginning life as a seed and sending roots to the soil, or beginning as a terrestrial plant that climbs a tree and then sends roots back to the soil.
19.
It likes habitat with thick, tangled undergrowth and medium-sized trees with a canopy height of 33 100 ft ( 10 30 m ) such as " Elaeagia " ( Rubiaceae ) and " Hieronyma oblonga " ( Phyllanthaceae ), overgrown with epiphytes and hemiepiphytes ( e . g.
