QuestionHi Nick,
My indoor palm tree has a new frond that has developed a sticky residue. None of the other fronds have it. I think it is a Queen palm but not sure. Do you know what it could be?
AnswerHi, it sounds like you may be developing an insect problem, most likely mites; as they feed they give off a secretion that is stickly and honeydew like. wipe the frond down with some household Isoprohyl alchohol and that should take care of the problem for you; watch for outbreaks on other fronds, and treat accordingly.
