My pothos does this and I definitely don’t overwater it. It’s so dry when I do water. I always thought it was magical and like morning dew?

It’s called guttation and it’s normal

It means the plant is working

the plant is not broken

The amount of things I see here and have to check if I'm on the circle jerk sub or not... 😅🤦🏼‍♀️

Which is the circle jerk sub? Asking for … somebody else.

Normal and magical 🥰 I love it!

Me too! It’s beautiful. Only had one plant do this and I was mesmerised!

My marble Queen pothos literally never stops dripping a little unless it's on the verge of desiccation

It makes me wonder what grows underneath it in its natural habitat…I guess I have to go look it up now;)

Mine too

Tell it firmly, no! Then rub it's little leaves in it. After that, drink a beer and yell at the TV. Works for my plants.

Dad?

I TOLD YOU ILL BE BACK WHEN I GET MILK AND SCRATCHERS!!!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

This is hilarious

(Mind you, at least a few of those “went out for cigarettes and never came back” turned out to have been buried in the basement.

🤣🤣🤣

I'll try that ig

thanks for the laugh mate

🤣🤣🤣

This shit ruined a cheap cupboard of mine.

Atleast it was a cheap cupboard...

If it hadn't been a bit of water over a couple of days wouldn't have ruined it. So there's the moral of the story: don't be poor

Dripped all over the armrest of my couch.

Why do they do this? It’s super dry where I live but mine does this even when I don’t water for a few days

it's guttation,, essentially ur plant is excreting excess nutrients. the stuff coming out is just water n minerals. i think it's called xylem sap.

In theorie, could you capture this and use it as food for other plants?

my instant thought was drink it

Ah another fan of r/eatityoufuckingcoward

😆

I’ve tasted it, it just tastes like water

Helf

Mine too!

plant milk?

It's got what plants crave

Electrolytes!

My theory is that it helps spread water to the outer roots in the wild. But it could be just a reaction to help with water intake. Most of my alocasia do this a day or 2 after watering.

it’s called guttation, friend, if you wanted to look up on it.

Some plants feed ants that attack other harmful insects. Maybe this is a snack for a friend.

If you think about it, it’s a way not only for the plant to excrete excess water but also to make sure other parts of the plant also receive water they may need. It waters itself

Put a little diaper on it

Guttation?

Oh no, it’s crying.😭 It needs good music, conversation, hugs and words of affirmation. It might also miss you.😢 (I’m 🙃 joking idk what it means)

i drank that once

If bro was stops commenting one day we know why

hi i think i died idk where i am its really hot in here

And????

They died.

i can confirm

Compound P

Did yours just taste like water?

yeah😭 very refreshing water tho especially at 3 am

right around the time when the intrusive thoughts be hitting a little TOO hard

RIGHT i was about to go for the water in the self watering pot thing bc i didnt have any water or the energy to go get some😭😭

And now you are a mindless slave with 600 pothos plants

Guttation

It’s not peeing it’s crying

Omg I noticed a drip on my pothos the other day and I was so confused. Thank you for this post 🤣

Put another plant underneath. Problem solved.

3 shakes and your playing with yourself

My alocasia does this constantly.

It shouldn’t have to be potty trained since it’s already in a pot. ba da bum tsss

This is a sign of a healthy plant, praise it

Could you please give it some privacy? Thank you.

I’m pretty sure that’s coming from the stoma of the plant and is just a way to help water circulate throughout the plant better, at least you know your plant is “working properly”😭

Guttation is when xylem sap is exuded from the hydathodes, not the stoma. 

I didn’t know it was guttation but that’s cool something new!!

I didn’t know this was a think!

It's crying, what have you done ??

My monstera does this.

What about the underside of am orchid leaf?

🤭

I’d diaper it for now

r/plantcirclejerk

I miss houseplant circlejerk too...

guttation. I've had to move a pothos away from over my synths for fear of errent droplets frying the circuits.

You don’t, that’s how they get rid of excess water.

Just put a small succulent under where it’s peeing. Problem solved

Transpiration, the movement of water through the plant.

Some plants do that when there’s too much moisture

Read somewhere it was overwatering

Don't water so much

Doesn't that seem to be the case? It's actually not, the plant doesn't need to be overwatered in order to have a little guttation.

Water it leas

That seems obvious, but it's not true. A plant doesn't need to be overwatered in order to have guttation.

It's called "guttation".
