# Hi all! Fairly new to the plant world but have had my weeping fig…

_Posted by Antonia on 2025-10-14_

Hi all!  
Fairly new to the plant world but have had my weeping fig (Benny) for around a month and a half now, and when checking on him this evening I’ve noticed this sticky stuff on the underside of some of the leaves, and the top of the leaves that have this on seem to be going yellow?? From doing an inspection, i cant see any bugs on him  
Does anyone know what this is, and any advice on treating this?
