The plant is likely suffering from a pest of some type, from mites to aphids, which secret sticky honeydew that attracts ants. You can get rid of them by treating your plant with neem oil. One the pest is gone, the ants will follow. Here is more info on neem oil: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm
