I’m a new monstera parent, and have been noticing a strange pattern. Every evening I’m seeing drops of water form on the leaves and stems even though I haven’t added any additional water. Is this normal? She is placed in a south facing window with indirect light and some direct sun. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)
She’s doing perfect!! the process is called guttation and she’s just released extra water And doesn’t need it. No worries at all my monstera and thai constellation do it too :) keep doing what you do !!

I moved mine outside on my screened lanai, but I live in humid Florida. I personally don’t mist my plants, but I leave the house a bit warm when I’m not home. I personally don’t think misting helps much. Some folks use humidifiers near their plants, so hopefully someone who does can chime in and speak about how effective they are.
