Guttation is completely normal and no cause for alarm. Just be sure you’re not overwatering — or overfertilizing, which could result in leaf burn when the droplets eventually evaporate.

Transpiration This fancy term is used to describe a plant's natural water exchange process. A plant sucks up water from its roots, and when it has received as much as it needs, it releases the ...

Guttation is more likely to happen when the soil is fertile and contains an abundance of water. It is also more likely to occur at night when the rate of transpiration slows down or stops.

It turns out plants can sort of sweat — it’s called “guttation” — and go figure, they look gorgeous doing it. Reader support makes our work possible. Donate today to keep our site free.
