Q.Chinese Evergreen Leaf Moisture
Our big and beautiful Chinese evergreen has had little beads of moisture on the edges of the leaves since we brought it home from the garden store. The tips of the leaves become very wet and that wetness spreads to the entire leaf. We have removed 8-10 leaves. We do not over water. We have had many new leaves, so we think it is healthy, but can’t explain what is happening to the leaves. Can you please help?

Treat the plant with neem oil to fix the pest issue and any fungal issues that may develop as well. Here is more info: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm
