# I learned something interesting today from the Doctor Planta AI. My…

I learned something interesting today from the Doctor Planta AI. My new philodendron arrived in the mail about a week ago and immediately unfolded a new leaf. It’s always has had spots of water on the leaves which I wondered if they were an injury because they’re always at the same same places and it’s actually wet and there’s no way for it to have gotten wet. Dr. Planta says it is a natural process called. Gluttation which certain plants do like:

Monteserras  
Philodendron  
Alocasias  
Pothos  
Calla lilies  
And grass

It’s a natural way for them to release excess fluid. I thought some of you other newbies might want to know this too.

My aglaonema does it too!

I have to put a towel under my alocasia after watering because it drips so much.

My monstera and alocasias do the same. I asked Planta also 😄. I try to station them where the drops of water helps another plant 😁
