shefflera arbicola

I have a sheff with a sticky residue. It has been seeping for 5 years. It gets on the carpet. I have tried to wash the leaves with soap and water, I also tried Murphy's Oil soap. that was 3 years ago. I need something safe. I have children and a dog but it was my Grandmothers plant and I would like to keep it alive. What can I do?

RE: shefflera arbicola

I noticed you had a posting about your shefflera plant having a sticky residue all the time. Mine has started that and it gets on the floor and is hard to clean. I have tried insectidal soap to no avail. Have you had any answers since you posted this? I noticed there were no follow-ups. I am not able to set my shefflear outside in the summer anymore and must leave it inside all the time. When I was able to set it outside, I would just wash all the leaves everyday and it thrived very well until I took it back in. The residue started again. Sorry I can't be of any help!
