Desert plants like cactus have thick cuticles to avoid water loss. Hairs on leaves: Hairs trap a small layer of water vapour that works in three ways to reduce transpiration: Creates a pocket of moist air to reduce the water potential gradient. Increases the sheen on leaves to make them more reflective.
