for those of you who only SMOKE plants, go away-this is for real gardeners. IT IS NOT HUMIDITY, didnt think i would have to put that in though. PLANT is inside house, the only plant i have ever seen that has drops of water at end of leaves. IS NOT DEW. yes, it only happens in morning but trust me, isnt dew. REAL ANSWERS ONLY

This is a natural phenomenon called transpiration. It's the evaporation of water from the leaves and stems of plants. The plant needs to open its stomata (like pores) to obtain carbon dioxide from the air so it can photosynthesize, and the "crying" occurs as the stomata opens.
I'm not sure what your plant is, but rest assured that it is a normal process for plants. Some do it more than others. It's not dew - it's sort of equivalent to plant sweat.

Could be Aspidistra eliator. Water droplets could either be dew, or, because of the heat we have been having, humidity in the house could cause condensation on the leaves.

Not sure what the plant is, but the droplets are probably just morning dew.

i don't know what it could be other than dew. I have a dwarf banana tree that does the same thing, even when our temps were over 100 this summer. We don't have AC in our home either. and we don't have alot of humidity here.

it's called 'dew'.
dew drops is the condition.
that's normal, plants like it.
it's not crying, plants don't do that. they either ooz, secrete naturally (but those are exotic in nature) or because of an infestation.

my phyadramun ( not spelled right ) cries too, it has large drops of water on tips of leaves, but I presume it is humidity, mine is a large plant too, we have hooked on a trellis to our plant stand, it is 4 ft tall, it is beautiful.
