Which outcome occurs when an orchid's velamen severely restricts airflow?

💡 Explanation

Reduced translocation occurs because impeded aeration directly hampers cuticular transpiration from the velamen, compromising the tension from cohesion-tension mechanism; therefore decreased pull of water occurs, rather than improved photosynthesis under hypoxic humidity due to poor air circulation in the tissues.
