- Mechanism The authors suggest larger tetracytic stomata may explain the higher transpiration of Aloe vera and Agave americana relative to Euphorbia milii.
- Observation Aloe vera was least tolerant of high soil moisture with daily watering and low soil moisture with monthly watering.
- Observation Agave americana coped better with low and high watering regimes than Aloe vera.
- Observation Euphorbia milii coped better with low and high watering regimes than Aloe vera.
