Why Your Dieffenbachia Drips Water: Guttation Explained

Clear droplets on dieffenbachia leaf tips in humid conditions are guttation—normal plant physiology, not a problem. However, the plant dislikes cold drafts from floor registers. Redirect airflow with a vent deflector.

Care Reminders

• Allow soil to dry between waterings; roots rot easily.
• Provide bright indirect light.
• Mist occasionally if air is very dry.

Move it away from the A/C vent and the dripping will likely decrease as humidity drops.
