SO as I was saying in my Wils. 'Peach Cobbler' post, seller (ebay) gave me this little Phal. Brother Lawrence x Yellow Brite Lites free in the package. While I was checking it out (which medium is moss, doesn't appear to be sphagnum well to me looks kinda different and dry) I noticed sticky edges on the underside of a couple of the lower leaves and even a little bit on the bigger one. Majority of the sticky was concentrated to the edges and tip of the undersides. My little knowledge tells me that sticky stuff is bug poo, or at least bug secretions of some sort. I used alcohol to clean it off and it took a little scrub of the q-tip and a few goes. On the lower leaf that had the most there were VERY small (2) pimples if you will. I didn't notice any obvious bugs though I know that doesn't mean much.
Is this a concern as I think it is? And what do you think of it? Repot? Very nice gesture, but not if the plant has any pests! If it weren't for the sticky stuff then I thought the little guy was pretty good.
Thanks so much as always everyone!
