A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum water droplets exiting philodendron leaves

Hello, I've just recently bought a philodendron plant. I repotted it and gave it a good drink. In the morning when I first look at it, it has little drops of water hanging off the end of each leave. Then later, they are gone. What does this mean, if anything? thanks in advance for any help

Hi and welcome Marybeth!

What is happening is VERY normal for philodendrons and pothos! Mine do that all the time, and are very happy and healthy plants. You might want to keep it in a place where the droplets don't ruin the surface underneath the plant, but otherwise it's not a problem at all.

thanks, I have a tendency to kill plants. So I'm trying very hard with the three little ones I just bought. Hopefully they will grow big and strong.

do not think you have to worry about the philodendron. The ones I have are 28+ years old--and I have loat plenty of houseplants in my day.

good luck
