I learned something today

My pathos plant started to have small water droplets on the end of it's leaves and I wondered what it was. Turns out it's called guttation - when there is a buildup of water pressure in the roots, some plants release the pressure by secreting water through their leaves.

This started happening when I moved the plant to a higher shelf in my apartment.

I also learned that this house plant - that my cats have also been chewing on - is labeled as toxic, by the ASPCA.

Poor weeping Pathos plant.

Poor kitties.

(don't worry, both are doing just fine)
