I have a 5 years old Citrus tree that I have been nurturing indoors. Recently it developed these clear globs of sap looking deposits on the stem areas only. The tree appears to be thriving despite this but I am concrened about my baby anyway. Does anyone know what this good be? Should I be worried?

Unlike many oher plants, Citrus tres often ooze tiny balls of sap on the undersides of leaves. They are harmless.

However, they may also be a sign of scale insects. With scale there is usually some stickiness on the tops of some leaves and underneath the tree. In addition, if you look very carefully on the leaves you will see small raised ovals that are either dark brown or translucent in color.

If you suspect scale, let me know and I will provide treatment options.
