| I'm sure there is an easy answer, but couldn't find one anywhere. What does excessive (?) sticky sweating on buds mean? Does it indicate temp, light, food or a watering problem or other? |

| If you can not see any aphids around, this is a sign that your plant is happy.This sticky dew looking stuff in fact is sweet sap, secreted by the plant at the edges of the leaves or on buds.Nothing unusual Aniko. |

| It is a natural event and a good sign. You may also find a number of ants begin to frequent the plant and eat this secretion. It is natures balance and not harmful to the plant.
