Does anyone know if it’s normal for my black velvet alocasia to have little water droplets falling from the tips of the leaves? It started when I watered it a few days ago, it in a cabinet with no humidifier and I don’t mist it. It appears to be perfectly healthy though.

It’s normal. The process is called guttation. The plant is pushing out excess water.

Ahh okay I thought so, does that mens it needs less or no? I have a schedule for it but this is only the second time I’ve watered it since having it

You can let the soil dry a little more before watering again. Don’t strictly follow a schedule. All plants are different in different environments. Watering needs will vary.
