Does anyone know what this is on my Billietie? It’s this clear stuff that beads up on the steams and leafs it’s the consistency of syrup. When I wipe it away it just comes back.

    it's called guttation, its your plant getting rid of excess water and glucose. normal, but if it keeps happening at this rate you may be overwatering.

    Philodendrons release a sap that in the wild would attract beneficial bug to the plant. Sometimes could be there is a pest but also sometimes they just do that in my limited experience. But Looks like that to me

    Mine does it too. Not harmful, just a little annoying.
