Yes! This is a sign of a healthy root system. This means the plant has soaked up enough water and is expelling what it doesn’t need!

### Greenthumbhopeful commented on 2026-09-02

Normal for a healthy pothos!

### Holly commented on 2026-09-02

Guttation!

### Emmyyy commented on 2026-09-02

It can also be a sign of over watering

My monsteras, hoyas and pathos all transpire! An excellent sign of a healthy plant which is doing its job and feeding on the toxins in the air.

Sorry if it’s too much info; I am a teacher and cannot help myself

This isn’t true for what’s happening here

My pathos lives in water so I don’t know? But it seems very happy. Roots look good leafs look good 🤷‍♀️

#### Planting Cassie replied on 2026-09-11

Thank you I got nervous because my pathos lives in water just because she really likes it. So I’ve been told what it’s doing is bad!

I have multiple plants (monstera, pathos, hoyas) living in water; some because I got overwhelmed trying to figure out what I want to do with them. I also have plants living in gel balls/water beads/jelly pearls which are so awesome, especially for people who get too distracted to water on time, etc. At one point about 7 years ago it was how I decided to deal with repotting; before I retired, life was harder to manage. Now, only my Mexico house plants are in jelly beads.
