Citrus x aurantifolia

Please could someone help solve the sticky leaf problem that my plant's got. I keep it in an Orangerie and have had it for about 4 years. The problem started a few weeks ago. Many thanks.

Hello Marion 👋 Thank you for posting what we hope will be the first of many photos. 👏

You can find other like-minded gardeners by tapping on Discover and then "Popular" or "Recommended". There you will see other great photos of plants and gardens and you can of course “follow” anyone that you see there should you like to do so!

Should you ever need to reply to a message in your feed or just want to say 'hello', simply @username an individual i.e. @teamgardentags and that person will get an alert in their profile. Really hope this is helpful and you enjoy using GT! 😃

The expert on here is Aaron @tiggrx 😁 are you able to shed any light for Marion?

Sticky leaves are often caused by an invasion of some sort of sap-eating insect, such as aphids or scale insects. Examine the leaves closely (especially undersides) and you may find the cause.

Thanks as always Aaron for your help. You're a ⭐️ @tiggrx

Thanks @tiggrx. I appreciate your reply. I've had a good look but can't see anything obvious so have resorted to a multipurpose bug spray!
