Hi,

We have a plant in our conservatory. Not sure what it is exactly, other than
probably not an umbrella plant, because that's what we call it. Parasol
Plant maybe.

Anyhow it was fine in the previous house for 8 years, but for the last 2
years it's developed *very* sticky leaves. It creates a circle of sticky goo
on the floor around the plant. The leaves are covered on the surface with
the sugary-like substance, and it is in nodules under the leafs.

There is a photo of the underside of a leaf he http://tinyurl.com/bedu

Sorry its a bigish picture and I have no software to hand ATM to reduce the
resolution.

Any idea whats wrong and how to stop it being sticky?

Thanks,

Jc.
