The flowers at home broke into a cold sweat yesterday - what was going on?

In the natural environment, sweating after intense activity is normal metabolism for living things. Different animals carry out metabolism according to their own characteristics, but do you know how plants sweat?

On early mornings in spring and summer, many tall tree species, including some crops, and plants with relatively large leaves all show water dripping from their leaves. First of all, let me explain to everyone that this is not dew, but sweat drops emerging from the plant leaves. The reason is this: plants absorb a large amount of water, but the excess part must be expelled from the body. So under the shining sun, the stomata on the leaves open, and what we see appears.

Then many people will ask whether this phenomenon is good or bad for plants. In fact, the more water a plant releases, the more vigorously it is growing, and we all know that when growing plants, protecting the roots is very important. The more water it can absorb, the stronger its roots are, and the better the plant's growth is.

As for the sweat drops released by these plants, people were already making use of them in ancient times. Friends who are interested can observe the plants around them more!
