which plant's leaves drink water
Answers
Explanation:
While plants can absorb water through their leaves, it is not a very efficient way for plants to take up water. If water condenses on the leaf during high humidity, such as fog, then plants can take in some of that surface water. The bulk of water uptake by most plants is via the roots. That said, high humidity does decrease the rate at which water is lost from the plant, and so will decrease the uptake of water from the soil.
As for how often to water, it is complicated! How often will depend on many factors including the type of plant, stage of plant development, air and soil temperature, relative humidity, soil moisture status, as well as soil structure. In general, plants will need less frequent watering during cool and/or humid conditions than during hot/dry conditions
