I watered my monster lastnight probably later than I should have and woke up to water drops on the tips of the leaves that sit horizontal. It’s still in its nursery pot and didn’t have the greatest draining holes tbh so I spent a good 15 minutes cutting more holes all the way around at the bottom and side and running a fan on it all day as well as having the window open so my room was about 85F all day to make sure it’s drying faster than normal so the roots don’t rot.
I recently purchased an Alocasia ‘Black Velvet’, from the grocery store. I’d been eyeing it, as it’s unusual to see at a Vons. Also they had ‘Dragon Scale’, the Stingray one, zebrina, and ‘Maharani,’ all unusual for a grocery store; I kept myself away in order to save the $20/ea. Trying at least a little plant-restraint. Failing… I’m about to go get that dragon scale now I hope. 😅 I told myself if nobody claims the Velvet, I would buy it in a week. It was bone dry, and clearly the employees are laidback on the hydration for these plants. That makes me feel better, though, than the usual overwatered, sopping wet, 100% peat soil, and no-drainage-container-plants for sale. It’s always the succulents sold in these conditions. Meanwhile, all the ferns, spathiphyllum, & calathea are in full sun and totally underwatered. Like… who the F are these employees… 😭🤔 Alas, the under-watering of an alocasia is just fine in this scenario. They got it right this time... lol. I believe the plant was appreciative of that too, not being saturated to the point of root rot… ultimately tho, I think it cried transpirational tears of joy 😂😂😂to be in my home lol
I just recently got an alocasia Jacklyn in a 4" pot. I transferred to a 25-30 glass vase which has lava rock on the bottom and a soil mix of coir, potting mix and akadama. I have only misted the soil after getting it. Which was super dry. It was guttating
Wow! When I first got my Monstera I thought that the water on the leaves in the morning were normal and when they weren’t there it meant my plant was thirsty. I’ve been wondering why it hasn’t been doing it lately (now that it is much bigger). Clearly I was just overwatering it when it was younger. Oups! Thanks!!
Thanks so much Ashley. I have a monstera adansonii that’s quite small…just over a ft. It’s been getting dripping leaves & the newest leaf has started to look transparent. Didn’t think I overwatered it, but I must be. Thanks for sharing!
Lol....my adansonii is exactly what led ME here too. I'd been admiring this plant for months and my 12 year old daughter just happened to come across a lone adansonii at Walmart when shopping for mothers day. I guess she does pay attention. Lol. I am SO excited....its beautiful.
Hello Ashley. I just bought my alocasia macrorrhiza last night. It was root bound and put into a bigger pot and it was really dry. After repotting I watered through the top and seen water dripping from the leaves. So I put back in the sink and tilted it. Thanks for the information. I normally tilt after watering and this is the first time I didn't do that.
OMG! I just watched this video 2 days ago and now my pothos is guttating (it's only about 1 - 1.5 feet tall tho. I just changed it to mainly pumice and fully inorganic (but not semi hydro), so I'm still trying to figure out when to water it. Nice to know it's telling me I'm over watering. Now I know I have to wait longer. Tho it's kind of weird that it's only doing it on the unfurled leaves tho.
HI, thank you so much for all that scientific info. .My Mons tera Delisiosa is the one with the tear drop on the very tip of its leaf. I have it in the nursery pot and placed that pot in a fancy one. So its growing but I got a bit concerned. I took it out of the fancy pot and put my finger in one of the bottom holes and the soil is wet maybe not to wet but wet. So I took it out the fancy pot so it could get more air.. Now you mentioned tilling it or scratching the top soil with a fork..I know this was back in April that you taped it but maybe you'll come across my comment and help me with my Monstera.
now i'm a wee bit worried. I have a Alocasia Zebrina that is fair tall, im certain it's about 3 feet tall. In any event, I dont water it often and when I do, it is bottom watered. I bottom watered for about 2 mins and then I poured a bit of water over the top and the next day I noticed drops of water on the tip of the leaves. it went on pretty much all day. I hope it will be ok, i love this plant lol
Hi! Love your scientific explanation (coming from a Health Science background) and the links between growth and guttation and the organs which let water travel through the plant. So cool! Thank you 🤓
Seem like the consensus is that Monstera plants are commonly know to Guttate, mine is no different considering its growing in a Pon/leca substrate and its proliferating all year round
thank you for the information about guttation of plants leaves,i was amazed everytime i see my indoor plant's leaves producing droplets of water at its leaftips.(that's guttation))
I notice repeated guttation (or transpiration?) on my begonia props. I have them in a container with coco coir and perlite. They’re growing well but I’m worried about the continuous guttation. It’s hard for me to know for sure if it’s guttation or transpiration
My dwarf musa banana tree has these droplets on it's leaves every now and then and I don't over water it because I use a moisture meter so I only water it when it says that it's almost dry 🤔 I do, however, have the plant close to a humidifier, but I've tried to move it further away from it, but then it just looks sad and droopy, so I don't know what to do 😅 I feel like my banana plant is a bit of a diva 💁🏻♀️✨️🍌
I have a soil for my monstera that drains super quickly -- it's in a terracotta pot too just in case I overwater. I used my finger to test the soil and it felt very sandy and dry so I watered pretty heavily and now I'm noticing some water droplets forming on the leaf and the new leaf shoot. The water drained super quick and the terracotta pot is moist.. would this still be a sign of overwatering or a natural process due to there being a lot of water in the soil.. even if the soil is extremely porous and in a terracotta pot? Thank you!
I struggle with guttation and also yellowing leaves like I'm not watering enough 😓 I use a bamboo stick to act as my moisture meter but maybe I'm using it wrong...
This is happening to my albo but I only water it when the chopstick comes out completely dry (every 5-7 days). I also stick my finger in to make sure. My Thai does not do this. My albo is shooting out a leaf every 2-3 weeks though, maybe that's why? I'm so confused! Also it often happens at night but sometimes it continues into the day like noon.
This happens to my devil's ivy pothos if I over water it but since it is essentially a weed and continues to grow I'm not concerned with getting root rot or killing it. The next day it stops guttationing. Also, given that it is in the order water plantain and it does quite well in water alone, I see no harm.
@@letXeqX I got them from Plantflix. She has seed packets as well as full starter kits. I highly recommend using a heat mat and a seed tray with a humidity dome or it takes a long time to grow.

Good evening. I have a white knight that we moved 3,000 miles unsuccessfully. The leaves were beautiful. When we arrived at our destination there were fewer leaves and three of them have tears in them. How do I repair. I don’t want to lose her
Hi, 8m new o plants just bought my dragon scale last week and watered today for the first time as it seem to have been way too over watered when I bought it. Even some yellow spots. So I waited till it was completely dried out and watered today, sure enough.. it started dripping the water frm tips which freaked me out ..... My question is, the roots are comming out FRM the bottom so would it be safe to repot tmrw , even though I watered today.... Possibly over watered a bit??? Will it be ok ??
When I got my Monstera it was already watered and it was doing that for the entire first week. I just watered it last night after about a week and a half of letting the soild to dry and woke up with the water droplets on the leaves again. Can this be corrected or is it to late for my plant 😭. Also what are the best types of pots for monstera of you have had those before ?
I heard don’t water them at night because it will do this! I’m just not gonna water mines for 2 weeks and enjoy the rain shower thanks for ur helpful information
Help! I brought my firts Alocasio home today, Alocasia Bambino. The tip of the leaf are guttating. Should I repot it or wait for it to acclimate to its new location?
Hello, can someone be allergic to soil/dirt. If so, can you explain about why and what makes someone allergic to soil? My skin gets very ittchy when its in contact with soil/dirt and sometimes I get rashes if I have contact with it for a long period of time. I love plants but I couldnt have it in soild. Thank you so much, love you vids. Have a nice day! ❤️
Oh that’s interesting. Approximately where are you located on the planet? I would look up soil concentrations within your area. It’s not uncommon for certain areas to have higher level of silica for example.
Does anyone know why green leaf lettuce would turn white on the outside of the leaf suddenly as in 24 hours , is that sign of overwatering , or the constant high temperatures / Humidities to low temps. that we are having in coastal Texas zone 9-A ?
@@GardeningInCanada You are probably correct it has been mid-eighties , heat index of 90 F here on the Texas Coast and the lettuce is somewhat soft and wilty, I pulled one entire area and the ph was 5, so I added some garden lime and tilled it in , time for a crop rotation anyway .
My 5ft pothos does it! And u said my water pressure would be way up there ? Does that mean the water pressure from when I'm watering ? Cause I put her in the shower😂❤
What plants would you recommend for inside dark apartment? All my plants I buy get yellow leaves inside I want green inside please send me a list or what to do ? 😊
What is it about "plant people" that they feel like they need to growl instead of speak outwardly from their mouth instead of from their throats? This is the 3rd video I've watched trying to get info about plants dripping water from the leaves and can't understand most of what these people say because they growl instead of speak.
my Philodendron Congo Rojo (if i'm not wrong with the name) was guttating so strongly so it`s big and beautiful leaves started having lots of little dried spots. I think the problem was exactly in a placing of the pot, as it was right near the west-oriented window, so I realized these guttating spots of the leaves under the sunlight became burned transforming into small dried spots all around the leave. after i put the pot into the other location, on the distance from the window (and also repotted it into the other soil mix) it feels much better, i think the new leaves have no dried spots anymore.
Around the 2 minute mark my brain said "lick your plant & see if it taste like sweat or water"
I have a 5 foot pothos going through this now. Thanks for sharing.
I caught a plant in full blown guttation last fall and managed to get a video of it! Like jewelry on its leaves 😍
That’s really cool.

I've noticed my monstera and pothos do this after watering them, but for some reason they only do it in the evening. I wonder why this could be.
That is interesting. Maybe atmosphere pressures

Tho it's kind of weird that it's only doing it on the unfurled leaves tho.
that makes sense though because the unfurled leaves are not nearly as thick so the guard cells are not at "tough"

Mower cuts lead to guttation on turf and that liquid has components that are vectors for disease.
It can look like dew on uncut leaves also.
