Hello everyone. I got 10ft. weeping fig inside the house. For the last year its been producing sap from its leaves, Hard to remove from furniture. Is there antything I could do to prevent this? I might loose the tree if I don't. Thank you.
Sounds like a aphid or white fly problem to me. Exactly where on the plant is the "sap " coming from?
is it white sap, or it itsd just clear like drops of water , because mine do this let them dry out before watering, they dont like to be wet for too long.
Its clear like water but it is sticky and thats the problem with the landlord. I water it as soon as I feel its dry 1" below the surface. Should I stop watering it for a while? Do you think the dripping is going to stop?
Ok, the plant is just ridding itself of extra water. Less water and more light should put a stop to it.
i let mine realy dry out , before watering it again. sometimes i leave it a little too long and the odd leave falls off but thats all. hope this helps.
