Help...
At some point, apparently, my larger aloe got knocked into one of those sticky yellow white fly aphid traps. Anyone who has used them knows just how sticky they are. How do I get the adhesive off my plant without damaging it further? I've heard nail polish remover, WD 40, canola or olive oil, hand lotion, peanut butter, and citrus based solvents all work, but obviously some of these wouldn't be good for the aloe...
It is currently out if the pot as I was going to repot it today due to some root rot issues. The only thing I've tried is warm water and Dawn Platinum dish detergent. It...didn't work.
