Q: I've got a ficus with sticky, yellowing leaves. What's wrong?

Most likely, your ficus has an insect such as scale, spider mite or aphid. All are common insects that suck the juices from plants and then excrete a sticky substance we call honeydew. They can do a lot of damage if left untreated. We carry odorless insect-control granuals that will solve your problem.
