Guttation is sap that a plant releases on the tips of its leaves and stem. Guttation occurs at night, when excess water enters the plant.

Guttation is the process by which plants release excess water in the form of droplets through specialized structures called hydathodes. This usually happens at night when transpiration is low and root pressure is high. Guttation droplets can sometimes be mistaken for dew.
