What you're seeing
Sticky foliage often suggests honeydew from sap-feeding insects such as aphids, scale, whiteflies or mealybugs.
Why diagnosis matters
Similar symptoms can have different causes. Plant species, which leaves are affected, irrigation, drainage, soil conditions, pests and seasonal timing all help narrow the problem. Avoid applying fertilizer or pest-control products based on one symptom alone.
Earth People Organic Treatment Standard
We use an organic-first approach and do not use synthetic pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Treatments are selected with people, pets, pollinators, beneficial insects and the surrounding landscape in mind. Product-specific label directions and precautions still apply.
What we do
We inspect the plant, identify the likely cause, review irrigation and root-zone conditions where relevant, select an appropriate treatment, document the work and recommend follow-up timing.
