Transpiration & Thermal Profile
Thermal Signature: Broad leaf surface creates pronounced evaporative cooling gradients across fenestrations.
Care Biophysics: High transpiration volume requiring steady atmospheric humidity. Stomatal closure occurs rapidly below 45% relative humidity.
Early Warning Stress Indicators
- Margin leaf browning (low VPD)
- Guttation overload (root pressure)
- Fenestration closure (light deficit)
