Sugary stuff under orchid leaves
When I wiped the leaves of my phalenopsis (spelling !?) orchid I found sort of sugary crystals underneath on one of them. I’ve wiped it off with just water on a cloth but please could someone tell me if it’s a problem and if I need to do something about it
Many Thanks

It's normal, mine sometimes have it. It might be something that attracts insects to pollinate or even nectar. I've never removed it.
