I want to produce water stress in a potted plant. Whats the easy method?
by using salinity in medium or irrigation which will put plants in water stress.
Also you can produce stress by irrigate plants with long period between each one or put potted plant in glass greenhouses.
The most basic method for generating soil water deficits is passive pot-drying by withholding irrigation, but this method risks fast drying rates that do not adequately mimic natural soil water deficits. Withholding water from the soil is the most obvious and natural method of inducing water stress in plants under greenhouse or growth chamber conditions, but is also one of the most difficult to control. Water stress may arise as a result of two conditions, either due to excess of water or water deficit. The more common water stress encountered is the water-deficit stress known as the drought stress.
