So I brought this lil guy in last night to protect it from the hurricane, and I learned something pretty cool while taking it back outside. I noticed it was a little wet, and appeared to be (what my very dumb ass thought was) “sweating”

Apparently this is a process called “transpiration” This happens when the leaves have as much moisture as they can hold so they release excess moisture through the leaves.
