I just started growing a mango tree in a pot its been about 5 months and there some leaves with a sticky substance underneath it and then there are also some light green spots on the leaves, i’m not sure if its a parasite or if its a natural thing it does, also if it happens to be a parasite how do I treat it? Thank you!
