After viewing my plants earlier today some of the leaves look like they have tiny water droplets on but in fact it is not wet but looks it and was wondering if anyone has come across this before

Did you know that one of the functions of a leaf is transpiration? This is the process of drawing water up through the roots and up to the leaves where the leaves allow that water to evaporate. It is this evaporation that causes the water pressure necessary to be able to draw that water all the way to the top of the plant and what keeps the hollow trunk able to stand upright. You are seeing that process happen right in front of your eyes. Often times, you can find puddles and pools of water on the leaves of plants in full transpiration and these little droplets are totally normal.
