Welcome to the house plants conversations forum, Rene`. It sounds like you have a pest problem on your plants. The sticky substance you are refering to is called honeydue. From what I remember it is usually caused by scale. If you inspect your plants for scale you should be looking for little brown bumps on the stems and leaves. The webbing sounds like spider mites. You may want to post your question on the house plants discussions forum. You are more likely to get many more replys there as this is the section where we talk about off topic things like remodeling our homes or our children and pets etc...

Hi Renee and welcome.

If not scale, it could be aphids or mealybugs. Both leave a sticky honeydew substance behind. Ants are attracted to the sugary substance. Please inspect your plant more closey, in the leaf joints, along the stems, in any unfurled leaves. If you see white fluffy looking stuff- you have mealybugs. If you see wooly looking bugs(green, black, e.t.c. t hey come in variety of colors) all clumped together, you may have aphids.

I agree with Foxy that the webbing is an indication of spider mites. It sounds like you have a couple different kinds of pest invading your plant. You need to identify them first and then take immediate action to save your plant. They all will kill your plant.
