Guttation is the appearance of little droplets of liquid on the leaves of plants. Some people notice it on their houseplants and expect the worst. Although unsettling the first time it happens, guttation in plants is completely natural and not harmful.

When leaves lose water as a liquid phase through special cells called hydathodes it is referred to as guttation. These guttation “tears” appear at the leaf margins or tips and contain various salts, sugars and other organic substances.

Guttation is when water is secreted from the tips of the leaves of plants. Guttation happens at night when the soil is very moist and the roots absorb water. If there is too much water, root pressure causes the water to squeeze out of the plant and onto the tips of the leaves or the blades of the plant.

A very important aspect is that plants must balance the amount of water and nutrients they take in. The process by which plants balance the amount of water they take in is called guttation. Plants like grass, wheat, tomatoes etc: have a vascular system. In these plants, the water accumulates at the tip of the leaves.

3 Answers. Guttation is commonly seen at night and early morning. Plants release excess of water via the guttation. During day time as the transpiration rate increases, excess of water is released via transpiration and hence guttation decreases.

It occurs through the specialized structures called hydathodes which are generally restricted to the apex or the edges of the margins of leaves. The water coming out through hydathodes contain the mineral (inorganic) salt also. However, the secretion of stomata includes only water, no mineral salt.

Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface.
