In florida I have to be careful when spraying my plants down in the summer especially in the afternoon, but that's outdoors in direct sun. Indoors leaf burn doesn't happen as much because the light isn't so intense like outdoors, unless up against the windowsill getting direct sun. So many factors come into play. Great video.
@@StaceyHerewegrowagain hello! Have your plants gotten water droplet burn in the Florida sun?
I think you had a bit too much fun with that magnifying glass 😂😂😂😂
@@vixistixi I would agree haha.
A wizard never has too much fun with a magifying glass, nor too little. They have exactly as much fun as they intend.
(Pyromaniac counts as "wizard" right?)
@@DragoniteSpam I retract my first comment. This is the correct one....I had as much fun as intended hahaha
@EverythingPlants thank you for responding to my comment! Excellent summary , basically everything that needs to be said. As mentioned, the only possibility of burning a plant leaf is to create a spherical droplet without touching the leaf tissue itself. One caution is in order here. The water droplet itself will find it extremely difficult to sustain a spherical shape, but there is one that can. Mixed with oils. You have probably seen the warnings not to spray various preparations on plants when they are exposed to sunlight, I am talking about the manufacturers' technical specifications.
Those of us who use neem oil in conjunction with soaps for emulsification know this. This mixing changes the density of the water and the surface resistivity, and also the evaporation of the liquid itself. It is the wrong mixing that is particularly problematic.
But the situation is not so critical, the problem with mixes is 99% of the time a case of misapplication, such as the use of a dish cleaner, which destroys the surface protection of the plant leaf, and the damage is very similar to that of a burnt leaf, hence the often erroneous conclusion that the damage was due to an application in broad daylight. Many growers of chillies, which are particularly sensitive to this, are familiar with this error. It wasn't the sunlight that was to blame, but the plant's sensitivity to the product itself.
Moving plants out of a fairly dark room into the sun, carrying them outside, or placing them on a windowsill in direct sunlight is much more dangerous for your plants.
Thank you so much for this extremely informative comment. Like I've said in previous comments, I've never had an issue with burning leaves in direct sunlight.... But said to avoid this because I didn't want anyone to have a damaged plant because of misinformation I gave.
I absolutely love your videos, informative, educational, enthusiastic about experimenting.....top, love it!
Last video when you said that about the water droplets, I was driving and I called out "no it doesn't!" 😅 but it's pretty cool that you went to all of that to debunk it.
Its something I heard a long time ago. I water in light all the time, but never wanted anyone else to damage their plants...but shame on me for giving this info
@EverythingPlants I heard the same thing and repeated it too! Makes sense sort of, but outside the water must evaporate too fast, and inside, it's just not hot enough. I never knew that the magnifying glass would burn so quickly! This was a good experiment, and the only person I've ever seen try to test it, so that was very cool to see! Kudos to you, Jeff!
In nature sometimes the sun comes out after a rain and it doesn’t seem to affect a plants leaves. African violets are native to rainforests in Africa and why can’t their leaves get wet ? Do they take out an umbrella when it rains to protect themselves? True they’re an understory plant but they still do get wet. I could never figure that out, what do plants do when the sun comes out after a rain. 🧐🌺💚😊
Turns out the droplets aren't the right shape....need to be spherical and a certain distance to refract the light enough to burn
The only thing I have ever had issue with on wet plants (especially Cacti and Begonias ) is mold , mildew and fungii. It wasn't leaf burn , not in direct sun or growlights. The issues were caused by cooler temperatures and/or poor air circulation.
Debunked!!
What a beautiful jaclyn leaf.
@@heatherdegreeff1092 thanks Heather!
Always informative videos! That’s Jeff👍🌟
Thanks 👍
1:34 is right. It’s always the grow light. Water droplets have not been a problem for me. Alcohol and neem oil are problematic to me especially under the lights.
Thanks for sharing! Alcohol has caused burn under light?
@@EverythingPlants Yes, because I used to spray alcohol full on to kill mealy bugs. Now I used a swiffer duster sprayed heavily with alcohol and brush the leaves. Works like a charm and lights on is no longer a bother.
What lightmeter app do you use 🙏? Thanks for the information!! 💚
It's called photone
Assuming a neem oil mix might burn instead of straight water. 🤔 Thanks for the experiment!
Lol I just asked same question then I see yours. ❤
I have never used neem oil but I've heard it can burn leaves. I'm not sure if it's because of light or the chemical make up of the solution
@@EverythingPlants first off great video!! I was of some mindset as you were. Need oil and/or sulfur powder are my go to. Here in Illinois humidity always seems to be an issue come mid-late summer. Just curious if being oil if that refracts the beams of light differently? Or retain/buildup/hold heats?
Jeff, you are such a legend 👏 🙌
Thanks!
Thank you Jeff. 🌺💚😊
Thanks for watching!
thx for doing this experiment. Makes sense the evaporative cooling of the water would counteract any heating generated in my opinion.
I think neem oil might be the real culprit. It would create an oily film that would magnify, trap additional heat and not evaporate as fast as water. I've often heard people burning leaves using neem.
I believe you are correct with neem. I've never used it before so I have no idea
very interesting, thanks Jeff.
Thanks! I thought so too!
How this myth even birthed in the plant community is mind blowing lol thank you for debunking still 👍🏽
No idea... I've never had any burnt leaves. But I've mentioned this in my videos so I was part of the problem I guess haha
@@EverythingPlants lol i didnt see that video but now i gotta find it
@@pollensplants I've just said to avoid spraying off leaves in direct sunlight
I would expect the temp of the leaves to go up in temp. They are being lit up with heat.
I have had times where when I use a pesticide or fungicide it would leave a ring or half circle brown mark. But not all pesticides and not all fungicides. I have seen it with neem, physan 20, copper fungicide, and monterey complete disease control.
@@tim_meister oh very interesting! Thanks Tim!
Ok so do you think neem oil could burn the leaves ?
I've never used neem oil, but I know some pesticides/insecticides do cause burn on certain leaves....
@@EverythingPlants being oil my gut says it would. Idk though.
Ahh! Don't burn it on purpose!! 😅
Haha....there needs to be entertainment! 😂
I bet it would take a lot longer for that magnifying glass to burn a leaf inside under a grow light. 🕵️
@@Planty-Mandy oh yes ...I would agree 👍
👍
Love the watch lol 😂
Thanks!
