Hi!! My monstera has been having lots of water on the ends of her leaves. I know they like a little higher humidity but the ends of the leaves where the water has been gathering are turning lighter and curling down a little.. I’ve only misted her once and wiped down her leaves with a wet paper towel - it was not enough water to be dripping for days though. Should I be worried? Or is this normal?

    the water droplets at the edge of the leaves are actually produced by the plant. monstera and other aroids ‘leak’ extra water from their leaves so they can pull more water from the soil. it’s called guttation if you’d like to learn more about the process. it’s normal after a watering, but it also may mean the soil is too dense and not drying fast enough if it continues for days afterwards
