Did you know that plants sweat? They do…sort of. Ever notice small water droplets on the leaves of your houseplants and wonder how they got there? There is obviously no rain or dew in your house! Those droplets are a natural plant process called guttation. • Guttation, according to Benjamin Snyder, Manager of the Temple Ambler Greenhouse Education and Research Complex — part of the Ambler Arboretum and used extensively by faculty and students in Temple’s Horticulture and Landscape Architecture programs offered by the Tyler School of Art and Architecture — is a way for plants to remove excess water from their tissues. There are certain environmental conditions that make this a necessary action of the plant. • This video is part of Temple Ambler EarthFest: Celebrating the Earth, a month’s long celebration of World Water Day, Earth Day and Arbor Day.
