Indoor Plant Water Stress Adaptations

FAQ About Indoor Plant Water Stress Adaptations

How do indoor plants adapt to water stress?

Indoor plants adapt to water stress through various mechanisms, including anatomical, physiological, and biochemical changes. Anatomically, plants may develop thicker leaves or waxy surfaces to reduce water loss. Physiologically, they might close their stomata to minimize transpiration, while biochemically, they can accumulate solutes to maintain cell function.
