Default Re: Guttation

Guttation is a sign of good health because it requires a healthy root system.

I've noticed that lemon plants, which do not guttate, are prone to getting edema, as evidence by necrotic spots on the leaves. I guess guttation is analogous to sweating to lower blood pressure to avoid hemorrhages, in humans.
