I’m in the middle of watering my plants and noticed what looks like a milky liquid coming from a new leaf of this plant. I’m not sure if you can see it in the photo but I have never noticed this before. Is this a sign of a healthy or sick plant? The plant is a Ficus Benjamina

    It's the plants latex. Is it possible it was pulled, or a leaf came off from that area?

      That's probably it than. It should dry up easily. Do be careful handling it, it can be an irritant if left on the skin. Especially if you have a latex allergy.
