The Understory Layer
The Understory layer has a hot, damp climate with still air. The Understory has many plants although it only has 2-5% of sunlight because the canopy layer blocks the sunlight going through. The tiny amount of sunlight encourages plants to have smarter ways of living in fewer sunlight. The plants of the understory hardly goes higher than twelve feet

There are several plants in the understory, most of them like:
Philodendron Prayer Plant Peace Lily
And much more, these plants can grow in the understory layer or you living room because of the amount of sunlight these absorb.
