As the epidermis of the plant is covered with water barriers such as lignin and waxy cuticles, the night opening of the stomata is the main channel for water movement for xerophytes in arid conditions. [12] Even when water is not scarce, the xerophytes A. Americana and pineapple plant are found to utilise water more efficiently than mesophytes ...

The 'Pineapple Express' atmospheric river gets its name from the tropical moisture it carries from the ocean near Hawaii to the mainland. Stunning satellite photos show 'Pineapple Express' storms ...
The pineapple is an example of a CAM plant.. Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions [1] that allows a plant to photosynthesize during the day, but only exchange gases at night.
Spider plants can be watered from the top or the bottom—but always check the soil moisture beforehand. Top watering is more common, but bottom watering can be beneficial if the soil is very dry.
