I noticed a few very tiny clear, sticky droplets on the stem of my 2 young Hoya Macrophylla plants. They are growing apart in different rooms but both have a few droplets. I dabbed them off with a little alcohol. Is that a sign of pests? I don't see any other visible signs. How do I treat it? Any advice is most appreciated.
Thanks

My macrophylla leaks nectar like that too. The only thing I've seen on mine is mealy bugs but it could be perfectly normal for that plant to leak nectar. I'm constantly fighting ants. Sad

Is it possible it is guttation? Guttation could be sign of overwatering? I know of the term only but not too familiar what it truly means.
