My silver sword has sticky droplets on it, I am behind on watering it, I didn’t see any bugs. Any ideas?

That’s normal for that plant. It’s meant to attract beneficial insects. If you taste it, it’s probably just sugar. You can wipe it off with a wet towel. It could attract things you don’t want in your house. Not all my philos do this but the silver swords and sometimes my money tree do this. No worries.
