Sorry to bother again but, while poking around my wifes collection of phal's
I came across one with sticky,clear droplets on the underside of a few
leaves(the drops are small like it had been misted). Is this a virus and
should I destroy the plant (it is a cheep one).
Thanks again,
Tony
It is most likely to be sugar secreted (honeydew, if you like). That a
sign of a healthy plant. Taste a droplet.
You might want to wash off the leaves if it is sugar. It isn't harmful
in itself, but could possibly (rarely...) feed various fungi.
