This is a Nepenthes plant, right? Just making sure. If it's
producing it all over the leaves, it sounds more like there's been
some sort of damage to the leaves and it's exuding the 'sap'. If
I were you, I'd check carefully for aphids. Could it also be water
condensing on the leaves due to high humidity?
