    It’s just tannins from the soil in the pot

    Is there any chance that it was over watered and then it poored on the floor? Because it looks like tinted water from the soil or wood used in the substrate.

    Fun fact: wood releases tannins in the water. Which makes it look like this.

    Metabolites and waste from the roots consuming nutrients from the soil. This is common in potted plants as there is no subsoil for those byproducts to drain into.

    It’s the stupid pot. I hate those things for this exact reason. You can’t properly water with them.

    You’ve overwatered the plant. The water is that color party because of the soil but more than likely because of the wood chips on top (yes, this has happened to me before with a snake plant that has wood chips as a soil topper). Nothing to worry about, and since it’s over watered, give it about a week or two for the soil to dry out.

    I have a plant that leaks like this if it rains for days on end within 2 days of being watered

    Use one of those plastic plant plates / drip saucers — some are clear and not too noticeable if you prefer — and set the pot in it to tip you off if you overwater next time. Be sure to get one big enough & with a little clearance for the pot.

    🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love seeing things like this. Like wow you really had to ask someone instead of just automatically knowing something most people could figure out as a kid- and not just anyone like you didn’t use google you used Reddit. Fucking hilarious omg

  11. Just use a plate or a tray to catch the water and stop being so damn dramatic. Jeez. 🙄

    😂🙃💙

  12. Looks like your pot has a water reservoir at the bottom, take the pot outside and try to pull the bottom off, or lean the pot sideways to drain some out

    does it smell really bad? and have you by any chance put rubber meal in the soil for fertilization? this same thing happened to me and the colour also looks exactly the same. if both of the first two questions are a yes then that liquid is rubber water it’s gonna smell horrid and stain the area

    Using worm castings in your soil? Seen people wash them before putting them in because it looks like that lol

    that plant summoned a demon or started a science project. no in-between.

    Somebody didn’t like their cup o’ brew…? 🤔

    But seriously…I think there’s some rotting going on. I’d remove it from its container and examine the root system…see about giving it fresh soil and a larger container.
