  1. The plant is cut in water to prevent air entering the xylem.
  2. Measurement should begin when leaves are dry.
  3. Caution should be taken when preparing holes in rubber bungs, pushing the glass tube, the cutting and the syringe into the bung. It is crucial to avoid air bubbles in the assembled potometer.
