In the rainforest, every plant must fight for its survival in competition for resources such as light and nutrients. To survive in these conditions, plants need to be specially adapted. Join me on an expedition through Cuc Phuong rainforest in Vietnam as we learn about rainforest plant adaptations.

Adaptations: 

1. Big Leaves: Allow plants to absorb more sunlight in low light conditions 
2. Waxy Cuticle: Keeps leaf waterproof to avoid rot/mould etc 
3. Pointed Leaves: Channels water down the plant to keep dry 
4. Leaf Angling: Avoids leaves shading each other to maximise light absorption
5. Gaps in Leaves: Avoids heavy rain or wind damaging the leaf
6. Buttress Roots: Shallow roots to absorb nutrients in thin nutrient-rich soil 
7. Liannas: Thick woody vines that grow up trees via tendrils (sucker roots) 
8. Epiphytes: Rooted in services of other trees and absorb moisture from air with specially adapted leaves
