Sticky Secretions. Is it sap?
I'm fairly new to growing orchids, and while I have limited experienve with the different varities, I've had success with phalaenopsis, oncidium, and dendrobiums for many years. Last year I got my first Cymbidium, and have it in my office window with plenty of light. The plant seems to be doing very well, but it's got some sticky droplets on a new bloom spike that I'm not so sure about.
The leaves surrounding spike for the bloom is the only part of the plant that appears effected. The drops are primarily along the ridge of leaf, but not limited to that area. I don't see any signs of aphids, mites, or scale, and all the leaves appear very healthy. It's even put out a good bit of new growth this past summer.
Any idea what this is and if it's a problem??? This is a great looking plant and I don't want to lose it.
Thanks,
Todd
