Default Droplets of sap along my phals leaves

On my phal there is sap coming out on one leaf. It's coming out of the
bottom side in small droplets. What's up? Is this bad?

Thanks
Chris

Chris,
I was once concerned when I observed sap droplets on my Phal, but then I
either asked about it here or researched on the subject, and found out that
sap is not bad for the plant and is not a sign of poor health or anything
like that, however if there is lots of it it might attract bugs that like
the sap, and bugs are bad. So my understanding is that it's better to try to
clean the sap off to avoid bugs. However I am sure there are others who can
tell you more (and if they contradict me, listen to them instead).
