Transpiration is the process of water movement into a plant and its evaporation from the plant parts. Heater will increase the temperature which will make evaporation easier and reduce the humidity around the plant. The fan simulates wind which will blow water vapor near plants, increasing the rate of evaporation around it. Lamp simulate the light, opening the stomata and increase the evaporation rate.
