    Sounds like your mass cane/Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana' (Corn Plant) is very close to flowering,. The flowers have quite a heavy sweet scent, some people like it, others can't take it.
    The stickiness is most likely from nectar leaking out. You can either leave the flowers be, or, cut them off. Let your nose be your guide:)

    Hi, I want to grow a new mass cane plant from another flowering plant. How should I go about doing this?

    Thanks, Ren
