HELP! 🆘 my joeppi has some sticky sap on the leaves and stems (they look like droplets). And it transferred over to my Florida Green & Paraiso Verde. I just treated all the plants shown there with a warm peppermint Castile soap bath, insect spray and fungal spray. Is it scales??? I see mix reviews on this issue online. Please help meeee!!! Thank you!
Following. EFNs maybe?
1 like I thought it was that as well. It was on the leaves and the stems. And on the stems there’s red dots also

Red dots… 🤔 Spider mites? Was there anything that looked like webbing before you did the big clean?
1 like No webbing. Just red dots on the stems and these sticky water looking droplets on the leaves & stems ..

The droplets of sticky sap is natural :) its a defense mechanism, but it also shows the plant is happy & healthy enough to have a defense mechanism. No need to worry, they are perfectly fine. Mine does this as well
