Q.What’s On My Plant
What is this stuff on my plant? I wipe it off, it comes back and know I noticed a pool of it on the floor, I see no bugs and I try to look everyday but I see nothing… it’s a orange plant btw.

YEP!!! SCALE!!! I'm dealing with this, right now, too...
This takes, manually, removing those insects that have plastered themselves to your stems, wiping the sap as best as possible, and treating with an insecticide. This must be done, continually, to keep the pests off of your citrus.
