It’s called guttation. It means it was watered in the last day or two. Completely normal

Thank you!

Like sweating; normal and part of transpiration

#### KJ replied on 2025-06-14

Correction: guttation is NOT part of transpiration; they are different processes.  
Transpiration = evaporation; usually happens during day, and involves stomata.  
Guttation = water forced out, usually at night, involves root pressure.

Always learning 😊

I’m having the same thing happen! Does that mean I should repot mine?
