== In botanical gardens == Cloud-forest conditions are hard and expensive to replicate in a glasshouse because it is necessary to maintain very high humidity. Day temperatures have to be between {{convert|70-75|F|C|order=flip}} while night temperatures have to be maintained between {{convert|55-60|F|C|order=flip}}. In most cases, sophisticated refrigeration equipment has to be used to provide night temperatures below {{convert|60|F|C|order=flip}}. Such displays are usually quite small, but there are some notable exceptions. In the United States, the Atlanta Botanical Garden has a large tropical cloud forest greenhouse with a large collection of cloud forest epiphytes from around the world. It implements a refrigeration system to decrease the temperature at night. For many years, the [[Singapore Botanic Gardens]] had a so-called coolhouse. The [[Gardens by the Bay]] features a {{convert|0.8|ha|acre|frac=8|adj=on}} coolhouse that is simply named "[[Gardens by the Bay#Cloud Forest|Cloud Forest]]". The latter features a {{convert|35|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} artificial mountain clad in [[epiphyte]]s such as [[orchid]]s, ferns, [[clubmoss]]es, [[bromeliad]]s and others.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/en/attractions/cloud-forest/facts-and-figures.html|title=Cloud Forest Facts and Figures}}</ref> Due to a relatively mild climate and summer fog, the [[San Francisco Botanical Garden]] has three outdoor cloud forest collections, including a {{convert|2|acre|ha|order=flip|sigfig=1|adj=on}} [[Mesoamerican]] Cloud Forest established in 1985.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sfbg.org/plant-collections|title=SFBG Plant Collections}}</ref> The [[Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens]] contains a "[[Panama]] Cloud Forest" garden in House 11.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020|title=Our Gardens|url=https://www.buffalogardens.com/pages/our-gardens| website=Buffalo Botanical Gardens}}</ref>
