Not 100% convinced.

Try the same experiment again. But this time leave the level of water in the 
tank just above the leaves for 5 mins so they're not exposed to the air?

That way the only change would have been the exposure to the air and not 
just the addition of new water.

Observe the difference this may or may not make?
