Monstera Leaves Crying. It can be quite alarming seeing water droplets forming on the ends of your Monsteras leaves when youve been so careful not to overwater it.

A Monstera that is too young wont fenestrate until it is about three years old. Healthy leaves of monstera fall off with age and its normal.
