Pro Tip 1/3Natural Process
Transpiration in plants occurs naturally without human intervention, much like breathing in animals.
Botanists measure the rate of transpiration to understand plant health.
Pro Tip 2/3Climate Impact
Transpiration rates can indicate a plant's response to its climate such as arid or humid conditions.
Desert plants have adapted to minimize transpiration.
Pro Tip 3/3Not Visible
Transpiration is not typically visible to the naked eye, unlike watering or plant growth.
Transpiration occurs at a microscopic level, through tiny pores on leaves.

This evaporation, called transpiration, creates negative pressure in the xylem, pulling watery xylem sap up the tree. This pull is aided by a fundamental property of water called capillary action. In narrow tubes, the attraction between water molecules

It's capillary action and transpiration pulls water up, a drop at a time, pulling it, releasing it from a leaf and pulling it up through the roots. And they're creating -- you can think of it as a kind of wallpaper.

It's a process called transpiration. And it's particularly important in spring when the nutrients which are dissolved in the water, traveling along the tubes are needed to kickstart growth.
