Q.What Is The Milky, Sticky Substance Coming Out Of My Plant?
The “hen” of my hen and chicks plant seems to have a sticky white substance coming out of it. Would this be from root rot? Fruit flies seem to be attracted to it. This is an indoor plant.

Check your plants carefully for pests such as aphids or scale. They both produce honeydew, which is a sticky substance.
