Hello, this is most likely not a sunburn which tends to be more irregular/ burned looking most cases it’s just a leaf lost due to new conditions or it’s time has come to an end. As far as the weeping plant some plants have the ability to do that! During transpiration they can accumulate droplets of water!

yes i’ve noticed this happens in the few days after a watering with my pothos. or if the humidity is high. it’s called guttation if you’d like to learn more about it

Hmm interesting

I love TJ’s plants! Saw a raindrop peperomia a couple months ago that I managed to resist buying 😂 I think that your leaf has just come to the end of its life :)

It is most likely overwatered if its yellowed and crying, I know that alocasias and such tend to “weep” when they have excess water.

Not entirely true I have an plant in water been like that for months and it has displayed yellow and weeping

#### Hatley replied on 2023-08-24

That is just my personal experience after having to move my alocasias and philodendron giganteums inside due to heated weather and dealing with their lack on interest in waterings, I know that everyone has their own unique plants with its own unique needs, but its ok to just stick to misting and avoid watering unless it’s noticeably needed when possible. As commonly said, it is better to underwater than overwater with most plants.

I just brought her home in saturday and haven’t watered.. guess it’s TJs fault!
