What are guatation?

Answer 1

Guatation, or "guttation," is the process by which plants exude water droplets from their leaves, typically at night or in the early morning. This phenomenon occurs when root pressure builds up in the plant, forcing water and dissolved minerals out through specialized structures called hydathodes. Guttation is often mistaken for dew, but it is distinct as it involves the active secretion of water rather than condensation from the air. It usually happens in conditions of high humidity and soil moisture.
