I don’t know if you can see this or not, but last night I was checking this new leaf, the one that’s curled up in the picture, and I felt something STICKY! I haven’t noticed anything sticky, on any of my plants. I wish this were feel-a-vision, because whatever this is, it’s nearly impossible to see, except for the slight shimmer you see on this leaf. I took a really good look, and couldn’t find any kind of pests on any parts of the leaves or petioles, although there was additional stickiness on the petioles themselves. Does anyone know what this stickiness might be? TIA!

    I can see it but I don't really know what it is. It could be something left by a pest but if you don't see anything I wouldn't worry about it unless it grows.

    Check for pests like aphids that are known to leave sticky juices on plants. It’s probably guttation if no pests are found. 🪴🍀
