So this is an interesting subject and there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of info online or, none that I can find easily other than the floors of tropical forests are very dark and dense under tree canopies less than 2% of sun light hits the ground but yet there are all kinds of plants growing on the floors of these dark tropical forests and this is what I find interesting.

There aren't many detailed photos or videos online that shows what exactly grows on these dark tropical forest floors. I am seriously thinking about taking my research to another level and visit a tropical forest to see in person exactly what is there and to take notes and measurements of light intensity plus humidity levels on the forest floor.

I'd be interested if anybody had any knowledge at all about the dark dense grounds of the tropical forests and what plants grow there as well as a rough estimate of LUX will be there. Any info at all I can use for my research in house plants that grow in the lowest possible light.
