If you look very carefully, you can see some shiny stuff on my pothos, especially on the stems. This stuff is so sticky, that even when I scrubbed my hands with soap and hot water, it didn’t want to come off.  
I’ve already sprayed three times with neem, and I’m using insecticide in my water can. If anybody has any ideas, I’d love to know. TIA!  
PS. The picture on the bottom right of the single leaf has a spot, and a line or two of the shiny stuff at the tip of the leaf. It’s nearly impossible to see.
