Hoping anyone can tell me…is it normal for a Retusa to have a sticky sap or do I need to treat for possible bugs? I haven’t noticed bugs, however I also have never noticed a clear sap on it either. Thanks for any help

Don't think so. Unless it's been damaged by something, and it should be whitish. I'd check for sap suckers

No, not normal.
