Chinese Evergreen blossom ( photo / image / picture from PaHansen's Garden ) When the blossom pod emerges it has sticky droplets on it, I have tried insecticidal soap and other plant sprays but the blossom just dries up and no berries form. I see no evidence of any type of bugs on the plant.
Beautiful plant! The flowers are short-lived and if the plant is inside, insects can't get to it to pollinate it. The sticky drops are likely nectar. Some plants are self-sterile as well, I don't know if that applies to Aglaonema or not.
Yes, the sticky substance is a type of nectar produced by the flowers. (FYI, it's best not to treat for bugs or disease unless you have actually identified a culprit.) Regarding berries, very occasionally you will see them on the aglaonema, but its pretty rare. Professional plant techs usually cut off the flowers, because they're not very decorative, and only draw energy from the plant - totally up to you.
The rarity of indoor berries, that was what my comment about insect pollination was referencing. Thanks for helping close that gap, FW.
