Philodendron can be a beautiful decoration of any room. All because of its large, heart-shaped, green leaves. The plant is not demanding in cultivation, so it is often chosen by beginner gardeners. It can cope with various conditions and even momentary neglect will not affect its condition too much.
Weeping potted flower. How to water a philodendron?
The flower feels best in bright places, sheltered from direct sunlight. It prefers fertile, humus-rich, permeable and moist soil. It does not tolerate cold, so it should be kept at room temperature at all times. It should not be less than 15 degrees C. Philodendron needs to be watered at least twice a week. It does not like dry air, so from time to time it is worth spraying its leaves with soft water, e.g. rainwater. However, it may happen that it produces drops on its own that start dripping from its leaves. Why is this happening?
Why do philodendron leaves drip water? An alternative to steaming
Water drops on philodendron leaves are a phenomenon called guttation. They are commonly referred to as crying. In this way, the flower releases excess water and mineral salts. When the plant has too much water and there are no conditions for transpiration (evaporation), it uses guttation. Water is drained using special devices placed on the edges of the leaves. That’s why droplets most often appear there and start dripping onto the floor. Although this is natural, it means that we water the flower too much and as a result it has to get rid of excess water.
