I have a loquat plant I grew from a stone planted last year. It has thrived well in my conservatory, see picture below.
However, it has developed sticky leaves and has something on the underside of the leaves. See photos below.
Please can anyone help? Thank you.

look like aphids. and the stickiness comes from their secretions called honeydew. Spray with a mild soap solution if you want to avoid chemicals or buy an insecticidal spray.

I use a Neem Oil solution on mine, but it is able to grow outside and flowers in the winter when temperatures are around 15°C.
