Default Re: What is this White Crap?

Usually it's the newer leafs and often just the newest or the cigar that guttates while the others don't. And that is very logical as the plant uses water pressure for growth and any excess water is guttated from there.
Sometimes,when there is a tear on a leaf,a plant may guttate from that tear if the edge of the cut doesn't dry out. The water pressure building inside the leaf forces some water out from the cut and not healed,leaf veins.


You are very welcome Terry,thanks!
