Matinée: Plants on Plants
Humid tropical forests are not usually associated with succulents, but even there there are habitats to which succulents are ideally adapted. High up in the tree canopy, epiphytes (epiphytes) have hardly any substrate and are therefore exposed to drought on a daily basis.
This guided tour with our curator, Seraina Rodewald, focuses on the specific adaptations to the epiphytic lifestyle – life on trees. It explores how the seeds spread through the tree canopy, how the plants attach themselves to trunks or branches, and how they obtain nutrients.
The meeting point for the two identical guided tours, running from 10 am to 11 am and 12 noon to 1 pm, is in the foyer.
The guided tours are free of charge.
