Cloud forest are extremely moist, montane forest in the tropics and subtropics. Precipitation ranges from 500 – 10000 mm a year. This moisture allows a huge diversity of bryophytes, lichens, ferns and orchids to grow.

Walking through a cloud forest is like shopping in a garden center back home. Many plants that we have indoors in Europe originate from these forests. Sadly, we only get a very small selection of the large diversity of orchids that grows in these cloud forests.
