Sometimes referred to as ‘crying’ or ‘weeping’, guttation is a process where excess minerals and water are shed directly through the plant’s leaves. When you see this, your Monstera isn’t sad, but it IS getting a little too much water. So, take note, and whenever you want to water your Monstera, put your index finger in the top 2 inches of the soil to check it first. If it’s dry, then you can water it, but if it’s moist then you’ll want to wait.
