Water droplets on house plants?

We have a ginger lily and lately it has had some water droplets appear on the leaves that were not put there by us!





so, I wonder - do some plants transpirate droplets of liquid (water in this case, I have checked!), in reaction to - whatever?

Water droplets on house plants?
Often times as plants move nutrients through their tissues, excess pressure builds up from the roots. This has to do with the osmotic properties that allow the transport to occur, and is not harmful to your plant. Usually, in fact, I notice this on plants that are especially healthy - sounds like you're doing things right!

Reply:Your plants are collecting moisture from the air and it will appear as water droplets. This is normal and also keeps the plant hydrated.
