Look at this beautiful marble queen pathos! Although water has been dripping off the tip of the leaves, just little droplets. Anyone know what that is?

It’s called transpiration, it’s the “respiration” of the plant world. Nothing wrong at all completely natural

the water droplets at the edge of the leaves are actually produced by the plant. pothos 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 (copied from my comment on another user’s monstera)

It’s called guttation, if the water is coming out in droplets. It’s the sign of a very healthy plant actually. It’s when moisture is drawn up from the roots. The pressure of pushing out the moisture that is already in the leaves, results in those little beads of water.
