Guttation definition.

Guttation is the feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you discover that the liquid dripping from your plants have permanently stained the walls, carpet, wood floor, or tile grout. It is truly a gut wrenching moment.



Alocasia and Colocasia seem to leave the most for me.
Bananas are endless morning dribblers too.
Liquid flows most heavy the nights after watering and tapers off days later.

Guttation can have excess salts and minerals in the liquid and sometimes tastes like the plant in came from.
Cannibis has a fair amount of guttation on the underside of the leaf when grown indoors...sorry if you taste it you can't get buzzed.

Plants to stay away from tasting guttation liquid are Poison Ivy and the Eastern Turd plant.
These plants have been known to cause issues.
