Most Fig trees belong to a group called Primary Hemiepiphytes. A Parasite taps into the vascular system of the host plant for water and nutrients. An Epiphyte only takes support on the host tree while drawing water and nutrients from wherever they can get them. A Hemiepiphyte, by definition, switches survival strategy over its lifetime. A Primary Hemiepiphyte such as a Fig tree begins life as a canopy epiphyte. After a few years having accumulated sufficient reserves, it sends a root abruptly down to earth. Once a connection has been established the plant can now reach a huge size by sending down more roots. In ‘Strangler Figs’ the roots remain plastered against the trunk of the host tree and may coalesce to form a cramped basket around the trunk ultimately crushing it to death. The tree corpse then rots and falls away and the strangler then continues to grow as a regular tree. In Secondary Hemiepiphytes such as Philodendrons and Monstera- they start at ground level as vines and then work their way up into the canopy. Eventually the vine’s terrestrial roots become redundant and its stem dies at the tree base and the plant continues its life as an epiphyte.
