calla lily

Question

why does my calla lily drip liquid off the leaves? Are they meant to do this? I have it as an indoor plant.

Answer 1

This is referred to as guttation or "crying" and occurs when your plant has had too much water. Basically, excess water accumulates in the plant creating a slight root pressure. The root pressure builds up and forces some water to exude through the leaves. Be careful not to over-water your plant.
