Rain Forest Biome. Plants in the rain forest include Liana vine,orchids, banana tree,coconut tree, bougainvillea vine, philodendrons, ferns and bromeliads.

Growing media: Terrestrial orchids, such as paphiopedilums and some cymbidiums, grow in soil. But most tropical orchids are epiphytes, which means that they grow in the air, rather than in soil. Their fleshy roots are covered with a layer of white cells called velamen, which acts as a sponge to absorb water.
