Simply for physical support, epiphytes attach to other plants or trees. They do not absorb moisture or nutrients from their hosts; instead, they get them from the air, rain, water, or debris that collects around them. Deforestation poses a threat to the continued existence of epiphytic orchids in the Dooars and Darjeeling hills. They are renowned for their therapeutic qualities.
