Plant leaves have water dripping

I would think from a bit too much water. That’s one way to get rid of excess moisture.
That probably means it’s overwatered.
So water it less often
@HonoraryBeech Look up the word "guttation" πŸ˜‰.
Just like how people sweat when they're hot, water droplets on leaves are normal for plants. When a plant has soaked up enough water, it needs to let go of the extra moisture. It does this by transpiring through its leaves. When leaves are full of moisture, they drip. Transpiration, dew, and guttation (water droplets) won't harm your plants, but they might damage your furniture or floors. To prevent water droplets, simply water your plants less.
