My Miltassia Shelob Talkien has sticky drops under the flowers (on the knots). I post some pics. Is there someone who knows what they are??
Thank you!

Well, I've read here somewhere that it is a natural secretion. I can't remember all the details but I have it on many of my catts and other plants during bloom time. Nothing is wrong, but perhaps someone else can give you a more indept explanation.

It's called "happy sap" It means that your growing conditions are making your chid happy

I've seen it called honeydew too. If you taste it, it's quite sweet.

Unless you've used a systemic insecticide on the plant in the last 30 days, go for it!
