Hi,

While watering the Phals today I noticed that one leaf on one Phal had beads of exudes on both sides of the leaf. The discharge seems to be more on the under side, I believe.

I do remember seeing a thread mentioning about discharges( may be one of Cynthia's) but I could not locate it. I am sorry about that.

Is it a disease caused by a virus or parasite? Or is it another problem associated with plant growth? The plant is , in my eyes , healthy otherwise( healthy looking leaves and healthy roots). Though the number of flowers on the spike is pretty small (just 4 and two unopened buds)

I am attaching three photos. It was a bit hard to get a 'clear' contrast of the exudes since it is almost colourless. BTW, it is slightly sticky but NOT, gummy.

Any advice? ( or a direction to the thread that deealt with it), please.

[I will try to get a clear photo tomorrow(daytime) if it is not clear enough.]
