Hi All.
I'm sure there's a simple answer to this but I was wondering why my Alocasias and Colocasias drip from the end of their leaves. It seems to be more on an evening and not necessarily when they have been watered.
Many thanks for your comments.

Thanks Countrylover. So it's called 'guttation'. That's fascinating!!

Re: Colocasia and Alocasia
That is interesting, but at the same worrying, as if we give artificial light in winter, are we screwing up it's seasonal clockcountrylover wrote:Now look what our scientists discovered recently http://zeenews.india.com/news/sci-tech/ ... 41166.html

Re: Colocasia and Alocasia
I think we don't. We usually give artificial light to tropical species where certain seasons do not occur as in our climate so we actually are kinda watchmakers
